Intro Diving – An Underwater Adventure for Beginners in Marsa Alam
Your first step underwater has never been easier – even if you have never swum! The instructor is with you the whole time underwater: holding you, showing you how to breathe and controlling the entire dive. Your only task is to breathe calmly and enjoy the view of the coral reefs and colorful fish of the Red Sea.
It is the perfect trip for those who have always dreamed of diving but were afraid to try.
