God stemning
I can highly recommend Nemo Dive. Great dive spots. We took the Open Water course, and there was plenty of time for us to learn the skills. The 4 days i was on the boat we were on a new diving spott every day, so every day was a new adventure. Captain Ahmet and everyone working on the boat were incredibly kind, smiling, and cheerful. You really got the feeling that they did everything they could to ensure everyone on board had a great experience—it wasn't just a business solely focused on making money. I will definitely be back at Nemo Dive. All the best from Carsten and Malene

Highly recommended! Fantastic diving experiences with Dive Nemo in Hurghada. The instructors are professional, friendly, and truly care about your experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. I completed both my AOW and Deep Dive courses here - can’t recommend them enough!

the best diving school in Hurghada
100% recommended. From the very first day I contacted Ahmed, he gave me complete confidence. We decided to do our Advanced Open Water with them, and it went so well that we came back for another day. I want to highlight the best instructor we’ve ever had, Emad, always with a smile and knowing exactly what to do at all times, ‘you are the best’. The dives are from a boat, they were flexible with the dates, and they tried to accommodate our preferences, like being able to visit the ‘El Mina’ shipwreck—you have no idea how special that was for me. If we ever come back to the Red Sea, it will definitely be with them. Thank you so much for everything, for making every single dive unique.

PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How does PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada compare to similar tours in Hurghada?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Hurghada, with an Outty Ranking of 71. At €300 it sits above the typical similar option (€23), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for travelers who want a full-day outing and anyone who wants flexible plans.
Who is PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada best for?
+
It suits travelers who want a full-day outing and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 48-hour length, minimum age of 10 and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at €300, above the €23 typical for similar experiences in Hurghada.
How much does PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at €300 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 PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada?
+
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 PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada?
+
Around 5 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PADI Advanced Open Water Course In Hurghada 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.
