However, our most natural environment is the water; that&#8217;s where we feel most at home. We will gladly and reliably accompany you on your journeys above and especially <strong>beneath the surface of the Red Sea. <\/strong>With perfect knowledge of local sites, we will take you to the most beautiful and interesting dive spots, according to your preferences and experience.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1408\" src=\"https:\/\/granddivers.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/IMG_20231231_182331_042.webp\" alt=\"Grand Divers\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\">Experience with us:<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daily Dives<\/strong> &#8211; full-day boat trips to various dive sites in the closer and more distant surroundings of Hurghada.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diving Trips<\/strong> &#8211; we organize 7 to 14-day tours to breathtaking Marsa Alam, multi-day diving camps, as well as one-day excursions to special locations outside Hurghada&#8217;s radius that are truly worth experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>As instructors, we are often on liveaboards, <strong>aboard safari boats<\/strong>, on the best routes including Daedalos, Elphinstone, Brothers Islands, Ras Mohammed, SS Thistlegorm, and more&#8230; So, if you are a diving enthusiast and want to get the most out of your holiday in this regard, this is definitely the ideal choice for you. <\/p>\n<p>We also offer <strong>PADI diving courses<\/strong> for beginners and advanced divers in the excellent conditions of the Red Sea. All of this in Slovak, Czech, English, and most importantly, patiently, clearly, and with humor. <\/p>\n<p>By arrangement, we can cover the theoretical part of the course online in advance, and upon arrival in Egypt, we will go through the practical exercises directly in marine conditions, lasting 2-3 days. And then you&#8217;ll be a licensed diver. Practical, comfortable, and time-efficient.  <\/p>\n<p>If you still have energy after all this, we&#8217;ll take you to <strong>authentic places in Hurghada<\/strong> that only locals know.
