Most people come to Dahab to learn scuba diving.
But the best part is sharing this experience with a group of people who started the week as strangers and end it as friends.
For 7 unforgettable days, you'll learn to scuba dive in one of the world's most iconic diving destinations while exploring the very best of Egypt alongside a crew of like-minded travelers.
Your adventure begins in Dahab, where you'll spend 5 days earning your PADI Open Water certification and discovering the magic of the Red Sea. Between dives, we'll head to the Blue Lagoon, gather around a beach BBQ, take over karaoke night, share stories at open mic, and enjoy a mountain music night under a sky full of stars.
Then we'll travel together to Cairo for 2 days of exploration. You'll stand in front of the Pyramids, wander through the Grand Egyptian Museum, discover local food spots, and experience a completely different side of Egypt before the journey comes to an end.
This camp is built for beginners, solo travelers, digital nomads, students, and anyone who's ever thought, "I'd love to learn scuba diving, but I don't want to do it alone."
Everything's taken care of: accommodation, three meals a day, your PADI Open Water course and certification, transportation between Dahab and Cairo, community events, activities, and a personalized trip video to relive it all later.
And because great adventures should leave a positive mark, every €10 spent funds one hour of education for a child. So while you're discovering a new world underwater, you're helping create opportunities above the surface too.
One week. One certification. A whole lot more than diving.
Tanks filled, reef waiting.
Everything's handled.
Your bed, every meal, all the dives, the full kit, the Red Sea excursions and the whole social calendar — sorted. You just gear up and giant-stride in.

Did my Open Water here and my first proper dive was a coral wall full of turtles. The instructors are calm, thorough and never make you feel rushed.

The Canyon and the Blue Hole in one week, with guides who know every crack in the reef. Logged my best dives ever and the evenings were just as good.

Travelled solo and instantly had a buddy group of friends. Dahab is so easy-going, and the team handled every detail from pickup to the last dive.
