    Amazing team and training

    Great service from the team at Blue Brothers. Good communication even before we left the UK. Private transfer arranged from our resort to the El Gouna dive centre. Very professional instruction from the team. Nice new kit which fitted well and suited the diving that we were doing. Open Water PADI course achieved in 3 days (theory done online at home). If you want to dive in Egypt then I’d recommend the guys here. The final days boat dive was also amazing. With dolphins and awesome coral reefs. Great visibility under water. The boat used for all the divers was spacious and clean. Food onboard for lunch is great. Staff help transfer all the kit. We’ll definitely be back.

    Professional organization. Safety. Highly qualified scuba diving instructors.

    I have recently completed Adwanced Open water diver course with Blue Brothers diving school. Everything was, from dive boat, to pre-dive briefing and dives was very profesionally organised. I felt really safe and secure with Blue Brothers diving school I decided to take 3 more courses- Nitrox course, Peak performance buoyancy and Deep diver speciality with the school. I wanted to specifically thank my great instructor Mustafa and Tiger. He was very nice, explained me my errors, and provided valuable advices on diving techniques.

    4 days Open Water in Egypt!

    I was looking to book a last minute Open Water Dive course over the new years break when I had a few days spare for solo travel, but didn’t really know where to begin. I knew I needed something reputable, safe and high quality I could trust fully, so I started to explore PADI Travel to help me organise this trip who recommended Blue Brothers in El Gouna. I did 5 days in Egypt, learning The Blues Brothers with my amazing instructor Wallid, and completed by course over 3 days. I booked an additional day to enjoy after. Wallid made me feel safe and clearly explained every element of the course, required tests and technique. I got lucky he is such an experienced Dive Master and completely trusted him. I was nervous on my first dive, it was a unique feeling, but this first dive ended up being so incredible this feeling went fast. For the next 3 days we explored reefs, and even a shipwreck which again, I was quite nervous to do, but Wallid and the crew made these nerves disappear! You could see the quality of the dive school, boat, instructors and equipment. I felt safe at all times and it’s been one of the best experiences of my life! I can’t wait to do more diving soon with Blues Brothers. Thank you to their entire team for making this so fun, safe and mind opening!

    A highly professional, warm and great diving school with new equipment, super dive boat, awesome crew.

    A TOP diving school, everything was perfect. Our daughter did the OWD and the Nitrox course, my wife and I have refreshed our knowledge and skills, which are now a bit dusty, and have been on the dive boat. The organization of the entire dew school was super professionally structured. The equipment is as good as new. The dive boat is well maintained, has plenty of space and is very nice. The crew is incredibly helpful, competent and friendly. With the crew and instructors, it offers a beautiful oasis of well-being with a super atmosphere. The food is freshly cooked and very delicious. All instructors have made an exceptionally nice and competent impression on us. We dived on the first day with Mahmoud, who with his incredibly professional, personable and helpful nature immediately gave us a safe feeling when diving again. Our daughter's instructor was a Saher and was like a 6 in the lottery. With his highly professional, incredibly empathetic and warm manner, he has left a formative impression. They were wonderful days, we learned a lot and can highly recommend the diving school. We will definitely come back 😊.

    Very good experience

    I recommend 100% this diving center to pass a level. The equipment is new, clean, the team very professional, the safety rules are respected and the atmosphere is good. I was trained by Kristina who was very patient and always encouraged me. She is a great teacher 🙏 Despite my level of English which is not very good we understood each other and I was able to evolve but also enjoy dives. I had the chance to swim with dolphins, an unforgettable experience. Thank you!

    El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.

    How much does El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course cost?

    +

    Prices start at €549 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Hurghada is not rushed.

    Is El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course?

    +

    Around 2 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course 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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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 Hurghada?

    +

    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 Hurghada?

    +

    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 El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course?

    +

    Included: Use of SCUBA equipment; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Tea and coffee; Lunch; and Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 25 listed pickup locations in and around Hurghada. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Arabic and English. 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 El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to El Gouna Certified Diver in PADI Open Water Course if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
