Not included (unless otherwise noted):
- Marine park surcharge / permits:€5 – [€8]*.
- Rental of complete diving equipment (dive computer not included) €25
- Deco chamber insurance: €5
This contribution not only ensures the availability of the decompression chamber in Safaga, but also ensures its preservation. Safaga has its own decompression chamber, but if there is insufficient support, it is moved to Hurghada, for example. Even if you already have insurance, your support is important for your safety. The sooner you get there, the better! - Lunch If not staying at Nemo Hotel, B&B or HB + €7 – [€8]* (lunch)
Extra after the course:
- 1 day (2 dives) by boat: €55 – [€60]*.

Open Water divers and divers with less than 30 dives in their logbook are required to dive with a guide !
e-Learning
Your instructor will give you a code that you can use to log on to the SDI site.
You will then take the theory online at your own pace.
Once you have completed your theoretical exam, you can schedule the practical dives in consultation with your instructor.
What is the difference between SDI and PADI
SDI, founded in 1998, emphasizes technical diving roots and modern tools such as dive computers, with a focus on practical skills and progression to technical diving. PADI, founded in 1966, is the largest diving organization, offering standardized, accessible recreational diving certifications to more than 30 million divers. Both meet WRSTC safety standards, but differ in focus: SDI focuses on innovation, PADI on broad, consistent training.
Switching from PADI to SDI is not a problem at all. Your earned certifications remain valid and you can continue your dive training at SDI effortlessly.
