The fun part of the PADI Wreck Diver course is visiting wrecks, unlocking their mysteries, and starting to gain the knowledge and experience that lets you see things others overlook.
The Red Sea is one of the great wreck destinations on earth, and Hurghada sits in the middle of it — from the small tank wreck within reach of a normal day trip to the famous freighters further out.
What You Learn
Surveying and mapping a wreck. Using penetration lines and reels so you always have a way out. Choosing the right equipment and configuring it for the job. Avoiding the two hazards every wreck shares — silt and sharp metal.
You also cover the responsible side of it: what may be touched and what may not, and why an intact wreck is worth far more than a souvenir.
Good to Know
Four dives across two days, with a briefing before each. Bring a torch if you own one you like — otherwise we provide everything.
Pairs well with Deep Diver, since many of the best wrecks sit below 30 metres.
Transfer. For hotels inside Hurghada, transfer to and from your hotel is free of charge. For hotels in Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, Sahl Hasheesh and El Gouna there is a surcharge of €20 per day per car. Rental equipment, where it is not already included, is €15 per day and person.
