Open Water Diver by Padi (Professional Association of Diving Instructors)
The main idea of this course is to start diving with more ease. You will stop being aware of your float or fins as you start to master these skills effortlessly.
The course consists of 5 dives or adventures; two of which, Depth and Navigation, are mandatory. With the Depth adventure, you learn everything you need in order to safely dive to 30 metres. With the Navigation adventure, you learn to use the compass and take reference points in your dive to know where you are at all times.
For the remaining dives, you can choose between floatability, current diving, boat diving, nocturnal diving or fish identification. We always recommend choosing the floatability dive as this dive allows you to really understand what floatability is and as a result, you will adopt an optimal posture when diving.

Emergencies within recreational diving are scarce. Even so, and although diving is an increasingly safe sport, rescue divers are necessary. Some of the complications they may need to deal with are the loss of air or the inability to access it, becoming trapped, exhaustion or unconsciousness.
This course will make a big difference in your career as a diver. Not only do you improve your skills but also optimize your own self -management when you dive and learn to anticipate problems while you watch over the safety of other classmates.
During this course, the EFR or Emergency First Response is also covered, through which you acquire the knowledge and skills required to act in an emergency situation which needs, for example, CPR or to stem the flow of blood.

With the Mediterranean occupied by the forces of the Axis, the safest route to deliver supplies to the British army was to circle Africa and come up through the Red Sea. On October 6th, 1941, the Thistlegorm waited for its turn to pass through the Suez channel but was intercepted by German bombers who were looking for The Queen Mary, another ship transporting British troops. Two bombs entered through the bridge and exploded, causing the rapid sinking of the ship.
To visit the charger, two dives are needed. The third dive takes place in the Ras Mohammed National Park; known as The Red Sea Garden. Ras Mohammed was the first Marine National Park in Egypt and is the best preserved.

This area is characterized by its closeness to both the high mountains and to the beaches. The Ras Abu Galum protectorate was founded in order to protect the coral reefs here.

Access is by boat.
