Daily Diving in Hurghada from Soma Bay -If you’re based in Soma Bay and you want to pack the best of Hurghada’s reefs into a single day, this trip is the quickest, simplest route: door-to-dock transfers, two guided dives at reef sites selected for visibility and marine life, a relaxed lunch on the boat and friendly divemasters who keep the day flowing. It’s perfect for people short on time who still want a genuine Red Sea dive experience.
Overview — Daily Diving in Hurghada from Soma Bay
You’ll start before the heat builds, sip coffee while the coastline glides by and then slip beneath crystal water to meet shoals of colorful fish and branching corals. Between dives you’ll stretch out on sun benches, compare notes with the group and warm up with a hearty lunch — then ease into the second dive with fresh eyes. The rhythm is relaxed yet purposeful: two excellent dives, zero rush, and a comfortable return to Soma Bay by late afternoon.
Meeting & timing: Expect a pre-dawn or early morning pickup; confirm exact time at booking.
Fitness & limits: You should be in reasonable health; disclose any medical conditions. Minimum age and certification policy vary — check with operator if you’re under 18 or a beginner.
Equipment notes: Most operators include basic cylinders and regulators; for full-set, advanced equipment or wetsuits check the booking page — some charge a small rental fee.
Camera & photos: Bring a GoPro with a float or rent an underwater camera from the boat (if available). Set white balance to “auto” and shoot wide to capture whole reefs.
Phone signal & charging: Expect limited signal during the cruise; battery packs are useful.
Seasickness: If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication an hour before departure.
Don’t touch corals or feed fish.
Avoid sunscreen with oxybenzone — use reef-safe sunscreen or apply at least 30 minutes before entering water.
Always inflate your BCD slowly and follow the divemaster’s guidance when near fragile corals.
Including conservation guidance builds trust and shows you care for the reef community — and many customers prefer operators with eco-policies.
Price guidance & booking tips
Group day dives from the Hurghada area commonly range from budget group prices to mid-range private options; group rates for two dives + lunch commonly start from roughly €30–€60 for intro/certified packages depending on operator, season and equipment policy. Always confirm: 1) whether equipment/wetsuit is included, and 2) any transfer surcharges for outlying hotels.
A day of diving from Soma Bay is an efficient way to experience Hurghada’s reefs without overnight travel. It combines accessibility (hotel transfer), expert guidance, and the thrill of the Red Sea in one balanced package. If you want a quieter experience, ask for small-group or private departures — they sell out fast. Ready to dive in?
