Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a certified diver to join?
Yes — you must already hold a PADI Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent) and be at least 12 years old. The Night Diver course builds on those skills to take you diving after dark.
How many dives will I do?
Three supervised night dives over three days, guided by your instructor with a maximum of 2 students per instructor for close, personal attention in the dark.
Do I need my own dive light?
No — all diving equipment, including dive lights, is provided. Your instructor will show you how to handle your light and use light signals to communicate underwater.
Is diving at night safe?
Yes. You’ll cover planning and safety in the theory session first, dive in small groups of no more than 2 students per instructor, and learn low-light navigation and light communication step by step.
What will I see on a night dive?
A reef transformed — nocturnal creatures that stay hidden during the day come out to hunt, and you may see bioluminescent plankton glowing in the water around you.

Yes — we offer a door-to-door pick-up service from any hotel in Sharm El Sheikh.
