Diving

Haven’t you been meaning to learn to dive for ages? Here’s your opportunity – choose between around 30 diving schools! Their long years of experience, high safety standards and the amazing sea life of one of the best diving areas in the world should be enough to convince you that the best time to start is now. All courses are offered at reasonable prices and come with international certificates, from Beginner through to Master Diver. Most of the diving in Dahab is offered directly off the shore. Beginners can get used to floating underwater through a taster session (Intro dive) with a fully qualified diving instructor…

Nobody is too young to be a diver! Kids’ dives are available even for the little ones, starting from age 8.

There is no diving school attached to CHRISTINA HOTELS, so our guests decide which of the many schools to opt for. They are spoilt for choice, so it’s not that easy! We regularly ask our guests for their experiences with the different schools in order to be able to help you decide with the most up-to-date recommendations.

The following three featured diving schools have all been given “top marks”. They all offer nitrox diving and nitrox courses besides certified PADI courses, dive packages (guided dives), equipment hire and dive safaris.

This page offers further information and direct booking.
