Open water dover
Amazing and accommodating experience – the perfect course for our daughter and the whole family! We can highly recommend this dive center, especially if you are looking for a personal and family-friendly approach. Our 11-year-old daughter completed her Junior Open Water Diver course here. The dive center was incredibly accommodating—for a small fee, they allowed both my wife and me to join her on the boat throughout the entire training. Since our daughter does not speak fluent English yet, we were able to translate all the theory and instructor briefings for her on the spot, which gave her great confidence and peace of mind. As a certified diver, I was also able to dive alongside her and share her first underwater experiences. The instructors and boat crew were very kind, patient, and always focused on safety and comfort. They handled all our requests with a warm smile. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience, and we are taking home wonderful shared memories with our daughter. We will definitely come back!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful family story! We are so happy to hear that your 11-year-old daughter completed her PADI Junior Open Water Diver course with Dive Nemo in Hurghada. Creating a warm, supportive, and accommodating environment where families can stay together—and where parents can dive side-by-side with their kids—is something we truly take pride in. You both did an amazing job translating and building her confidence! Congratulations to your daughter on her certification! We are thrilled to have been part of these special underwater memories, and we can’t wait to welcome your family back on board for your next dive together in the Red Sea!

Open water PADi
I had such a fantastic experience completing my OWD course here! The instructors were incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, explaining everything clearly and always making sure we felt comfortable and confident before moving on. The whole experience was made so easy and stress-free, with a driver picking us up from our hotel each day and dropping us back afterwards. Every dive was at a different beautiful location, which made the course feel like so much more than just training. I especially loved that everything was completed in open water, so after practising the required skills, we could spend the rest of the dive exploring and enjoying the incredible marine life. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to learn to dive. The whole team made the experience fun, relaxed, and memorable, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about completing their Open Water Diver course!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a stress-free and memorable time completing your PADI Open Water Diver course with Dive Nemo in Hurghada. It's great to know that our hotel transfer service, patient instruction, and exploring the diverse dive spots made your training feel like a true underwater adventure! Welcome to the diving community! Congratulations on your certification, and we can't wait to welcome you back on board for your next dive in the Red Sea!

Great experience
I did the PADI open water course at Dive Nemo. Pleasant informal team, very good instructor and good equipment. The emphasis is on safety but also on fun. The crew on the boat was also knowledgeable
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed your PADI Open Water course with our team. Safety and fun are both very important to us, so it’s great to hear you appreciated the instruction, equipment, and boat crew. We hope to see you again soon for more diving in Hurghada!

Amazing diving school
I had an incredible experience taking the OWD course here. The instructors were friendly, explained everything really well, helped us where we needed it. A driver picked us up from our hotel and brought us back afterwards each day, so we didn't have any trouble reaching the boat either, which was great. Each dive we did was at a different, beautiful location, and the fact that everything was done out in open water meant that, during the training dives, we would do some of our skills, and then just do the rest of the dive for fun. I would be very happy to come back some time for the AOWD course (which I would have taken right then and there had the weather been better...)
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your PADI Open Water Diver course and the beautiful dive sites around Hurghada. It's wonderful to hear that the instruction, hotel transfers, and training experience met your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for your PADI Advanced Open Water course and more diving in Hurghada!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PADI Open Water Diver Course Hurghada – English & German &French: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does PADI Open Water Diver Course Hurghada – English & German &French cost?
+
Prices start at $473 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 Open Water Diver Course Hurghada – English & German &French 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 PADI Open Water Diver Course Hurghada – English & German &French worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 43 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 Open Water Diver Course Hurghada – English & German &French?
+
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 Open Water Diver Course Hurghada – English & German &French 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 PADI Open Water Diver Course Hurghada – English & German &French?
+
Around 15 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 PADI Open Water Diver Course Hurghada – English & German &French 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, Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip W/Lunch & Transfer from Hurghada. 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.
