Price was very low but during and after the trip everyone was asking for bakshish(tip). Photographer also want money which is fair but we would prefer a fixed price rather then pay what you want”

9.Beginners Scuba Diving Full-Day Boat Trip & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 102 reviews · from $30

From your Hurghada hotel, sail to two Red Sea sites for two guided beginner scuba sessions, two snorkeling stops, lunch, and unlimited hot and soft drinks. Instructors provide calm, one-on-one help, including underwater support for nervous first-timers. Certified divers must choose the professional option, and children under 12 may snorkel but cannot scuba.

“The diving instructors really took their time with everyone and introduced them slowly. What I really liked was that they calmed everyone down if there was any panic. For example, water in the glasses or the hose wasn't sitting right. The reefs could have been nicer, but that's just my personal opinion. I've been snorkeling a lot, so I already know a few. The food was awesome and the whole crew was great too. Totally recommended for beginners”
