Night diving

Night diving offers a totally different experience to any other dive you have experienced before, and carries with it a whole new set of important rules and guidelines that need to be adhered to in order for the safety of the dive party to be maintained.If you have never been on a night dive it is one of those experiences that you will either instantly love, or hate, but it is certainly something you should definitely experience to find out.

This is a program:

We meet afternoon at hotel (time – depend of hotel), transfer to boat
At 5.30pm we depart. The length of the boat journey is dependent upon the dive place, between 20 min and 30min. The dive place can only be announced on the day, because it is dependent upon the wind and the experience of the divers.
Of course, you will get a briefing about the dives and any dive places for all the trips with us.
After dive we will return to port & transfer to hotel.

Everyone takes their own box of equipment. If you will need, we provide all the equipment – all you need to bring is towel, swim wear. Don’t forget Your diving license!

It's a shame, I would have liked to give it 5 stars, but the only positive thing about our trip today was that the boat didn't sink.Everything was totally disorganized. Everyone was told departure time was 8:30 a.m., but we didn't leave until 10:40 a.m. Accordingly, everyone was hungry when we finally arrived at the diving spot around 12 p.m. But there was no food! We also missed the good diving spots because we were the last boat on site and there was no quiet anchorage available. So we stopped near the breaking wave and the families traveling with us couldn't even go into the water because of the waves.I was told that there are a maximum of 20 people on the boat, probably less and that they take a maximum of 2 divers per guide. But I am alone with the guide. In the end there were >30 people on the boat and 6 of us dived with a guide.The equipment was rather bad than good. My vest was constantly losing air, my diving buddy had two leaks where air bubbles were constantly coming out. We had to stop the first dive early (30 minutes) because two people were out of breath.My wife was snorkeling. The snorkeling team was virtually ignored on board; they waited a long time for a guide, but one didn't exist.The price of $70 would be ok for a group of three, but my diving buddy only paid $35, so I was even more annoyed.Overall, very poor organization, long waiting times, poor information, lunch much too late (3:30 p.m.). The coral reef is quite beautiful but I would definitely recommend another organization so that you can enjoy the trip.

This is a complete joke, two snorkeling stops are advertised but it is not stated beforehand that they are on the same reef and that means that the boat is only 50 meters from the park. This is a complete joke, so I can't recommend it. Unfortunately, I have to add something to your comment.As you can see in your description, please consider snorkeling trips and not like you said the opposite in the comment yesterday. That shows that there couldn't have been a mix-up. greeting

If you're looking for an unforgettable diving experience in Hurghada, look no further than the Dive Academy Red Sea. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the level of care and attention to detail provided by the team. The dive sites they selected were nothing short of spectacular, with vibrant marine life and even a pod of nine dolphins swimming alongside us—it was a dream come true!The staff at Dive Academy Red Sea are truly exceptional. They are incredibly respectful, friendly, and always eager to ensure you have the best experience possible. Whether it was setting up our gear or offering tips and guidance, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well taken care of.Speaking of gear, the equipment was top-notch. They offer a wide range of high-quality gear, including spare equipment, so you're never left without something you need. This, combined with their thorough safety measures, gave us complete peace of mind. Our instructor even took the time to refresh our skills and make sure we were confident before heading out on our dives.I wholeheartedly recommend Dive Academy Red Sea to anyone looking to explore the underwater wonders of Hurghada. You won’t be disappointed!

I can wholeheartedly recommend this diving school. We learned to dive in a thoroughly professional, extremely friendly, safe and structured manner. I felt very comfortable and extremely safe on the boat (very clean), with the equipment and staff. We got the international diving license within 3 days. The day begins in the morning with theoretical explanations and structured practical dives, coffee and tea. You have to complete various exercises during the dive. The instructors are very pleasant and efficient. During the lunch break you will be provided with a well-prepared buffet, fun included. In the afternoon, after a short siesta, the practical diving lessons continue. There are 2 dives per day. The exercises and small tests, which particularly serve the safety of the diver and his diving colleagues, are practiced repeatedly. You also have to read a small book. At the end of the day, back on the coast, you're already looking forward to the next day. The surrounding area, the Red Sea, is beautiful with its biodiversity and pleasant temperatures. The price-performance ratio was very, very good.

This diving excursion is next to the hotel. The salesman at the hotel swimming pool said that around 15 people would come along. There were 28.You had to negotiate the price with him. If you pay him part in cash and the rest at the diving school, the price will be lower. This way he probably receives twice a commission on the sale.We booked for 4 people, but in the end only 2 were allowed to dive.The 3rd was also allowed with extra payment. After some complaining, 3 dives were allowed for the same price.The outing itself is poorly organised, an hour after registering you are still with the boat in the harbor in front of the resort. While the staff leisurely prepares the boat, replaces diving tanks inlet and garbage bag. You do that in advance, right?After less than 10 minutes of sailing, the boat's engine stops and we float off the coast for a while. So after two hours of waiting we were finally on our way!Then they tried to make up for it a bit, you make the best of it, but all in all sad!

I have done 6 dives here and can share the following experience.Positive: Great crew, good ships (we were on two different ones) good food, good dive guide (comment to the aspiring Little Divemaster Mezzu) The company is considerate of your wishes and diving goals.Negative: very poor and partially defective diving equipment (see also previous feedback)Organization is sometimes a bit chaotic and confusingConclusion: I will dive here again, but only with my own equipment. Price performance is acceptable. If the equipment had been well maintained I would have given it 4-5 🌟 stars

As a family we spent a wonderful week of diving with the Hany and Dive Academy Red Sea team in Hurghada. Every day we went out by boat for two dives and were treated to a delicious lunch in between. The young helpers on the ship are all extremely helpful and courteous, the experienced diving instructors and guides speak English and some also other languages such as German and Russian. We were at a new dive site every day and were always able to discover something new throughout the week. The prices are fair, equipment is well maintained and the boat “Layla” has all the necessary equipment for daily excursions. The easiest way to make a reservation is via WhatsApp with Hany (see website). Transfer from the hotel will be provided. We'll definitely be back! 🫶🐠🛥️🐬🤿

I spent five days diving with them, great boat and very helpful and friendly crew. So many good memories in these five days. I achieved my No. 100 dive, I swam and played with dolphins for 5 mins(lucky me). Thanks to my dive guide Naser, with 10➕ years experience he can always find special stuffs undersea, he also gave me useful diving tips which help my diving skills(buoyancy) improved. Thank you Hany (the big boss ) you made me feel home on your boat.

We went with these guys our my first ever diving experience and found that they are a group of experienced, friendly and open-minded professionals.Would recommend. If you have the chance to have them as instructors, you are in good hands.Must try again! :)P.S. Still they have the beautiful Red Sea to work with, so they have (at least some) of their work cut out for them - but, seriously, they made a good impression on me. Good guys!

We did our Open Water Advanced Certification with the Dive Academy and it was a great choice! The team is very knowledgeable and professional, our instructor Ibrahim was very kind, patience and friendly, he took good care of us in every dive to ensure we understood the lessons and made the right practices.The diving spots were stunning, we have dives in many top places worldwide and the Red Sea will remain as one of our favorite ones.We spent wonderful 2 days in a boat with a team full of nice people! We also got a delicious lunch, it’s all well thought and design for you to enjoy.Thanks Hany and all the team and specially to Ibrahim for this great experience, we hope to come back soon.

I am a qualified Ocean Diver and had 6 dives with Dive Academy in October 19. I had the best time!I was on a solo holiday and felt very comfortable and relaxed with the boat and dive staff. The divers shared the boat with the snorkelers and we had plenty of time to relax between dives. Lunch was ample with a great selection of food for everyone. Friendly professional team and will definitely dive with them again when I return to the Red Sea. 100% recommend!
