Scuba Diving Full Day Trip
A Scuba Diving Full Day Trip with Two Dives is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the underwater wonders of Egypt’s Red Sea. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced diver, this trip offers an unforgettable chance to explore coral gardens, encounter colorful fish, and feel the thrill of descending into a whole new world.
I’ve done several full-day diving trips in Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, and Marsa Alam, and each time, the experience has been different—because the Red Sea never stops surprising you.
Why Choose a Full Day Diving Trip with Two Dives
A half-day trip might feel rushed, but a full day allows you to explore two completely different dive sites, giving you more variety and more time underwater. Between dives, you can relax on deck, enjoy lunch, and soak in the sun.
Best Time to Go Diving in the Red Sea
You can dive year-round, but the best conditions are from April to November, when water temperatures are warm (24–30°C) and visibility is at its peak (20–40 meters).
Morning departures mean you reach dive sites before they get crowded, and you enjoy calmer seas.
