The crew plays a crucial role in the overall safety of a diving trip.
The master is responsible for the vessel and its passengers. He maneuvers the boat with precision, directs the entire crew and ensures the safety of passengers.
The mechanics ensure the proper technical operation of the vessel, including the engines, generators, compressors and inflation of the diving cylinders.
The skippers manage the divers’ dives in and out, ensure constant surface surveillance during the dives and take care of the mooring of the boat, contributing directly to the safety of the divers.
Instructors/guides are essential. A Senior Dive Director and at least one second guide are always on board.
They welcome passengers, check-in, liaise between the captain and passengers, provide dive briefings, supervise divers on request and ensure their well-being, both on the boat and underwater. Trained in first aid, they are able to manage evacuations if necessary.
Boats are carefully equipped to ensure the safety of passengers.

The diving regulations are based on strict safety principles and shared responsibility. Dives are necessarily carried out in pairs, solo dives are not allowed. Each diver is personally responsible for meticulously checking their equipment before diving.
Dive planning is given special attention. It takes into account certification levels, individual experience and environmental conditions. A detailed briefing, organized by the dive director, is systematically given and must be strictly followed by all participants.

Selecting a dive club requires an analysis of several aspects. Here are some criteria to check before booking your day diving in Hurghada or your cruise in the Red Sea
Check the legality and safety features of the dive club.
A diving centre must be licensed and insured as well as the professionals working there.
First, professional certifications are essential. Verify that the instructors and the centre have internationally recognized accreditations guaranteeing competence and professionalism.
Safety is a second fundamental criterion. A quality club must offer reliable safety systems, clearly communicate its health protocols and maintain impeccable equipment that is regularly checked and up to standard.
Ensure comfort on board and quality of reception.
Comfort and hospitality are also crucial. Observe staff attention, boat ergonomics, equipment storage space and clear instructions. Communication in your language is an additional asset for a serene experience.
To make the most of your experience, also ask for dive durations and make sure that there is a sufficient interval between dives.
Check the diving center reviews.
Finally, check out the reviews and feedback from other divers. These testimonials will help you assess the centre’s reputation and protect yourself against unsavoury establishments.
Diving in Egypt is possible all year round, with seasonal variations in air and water temperatures:
For day divers, there is no perfect season. However, for cruises, spring and fall are generally recommended.
