    Amazing world

    Beautiful world both above and under water. Helpful staff. Smooth communication with the company.The only downside is you have to wait as there are too many people around. Recommended.

    Ras Mohammed and White sands diving trip

    Excellent from start to finish, great communication, organisation was good, instructors excellent and stunning views all day :) the diving experience was out of this world, like swimming in a fish tank but only the fish get bigger :)

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Many thanks for choosing Egypt Gate and for your great review. We are delighted that the trip met your expectations and that you enjoyed the Red Sea with us. We will share your kind words with the team. We would be happy to welcome you back anytime! Kind regards, Egypt Gate Team

    The trip itself was nice....

    The trip itself was nice. Be careful of the scuba diving instructor separating you from ground and offering you extra diving time. Even if he says he will add time, it is a scam. Don’t add anything extra, also the photos and videos were 100 euros, not worth it. They ruined a beautiful day for us.

    Great Day in and on the water

    Very well organised trip. Friendly, professional crew. We went on the Try Scuba Diving trip and had 2 dives amongst the beautiful coral and witnessed stunning colourful fish. Highly recommended.

    Amazing experience

    Boat Yosef1 was amazing and made me and my partner feel safe. We did all the activities from scuba diving and snorkelling which was amazing. I’m a non swimmer but I was safe in the sea

    Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.

    How much does Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.

    Is Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 235 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh?

    +

    Around 82 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh?

    +

    Included: Lunch ( Chicken - Rice - Pasta - Vegetables - 3 Kind Of Salad ); Use of SCUBA equipment; 1 Confined water Diver (25 min); professional PADI-certified instructor; and Water - Coffee -Tea - Soda. Not included: Underwater photos (optional); and Government fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Arabic, Russian, English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Scuba Diving Sharm El Sheikh?

    +
