About this experience
Already certified? The Advanced Open Water course is the natural next step and one of the best-value courses in Dahab. Over two days you complete five 'adventure dives' — including a Deep dive and an Underwater Navigation dive (both required) plus three you choose, such as Peak Performance Buoyancy, Night, or Wreck. You'll dive iconic Dahab sites like the Canyon and the Islands, extend your depth limit to 30 metres, and finish a more confident, capable diver. Dahab's shore-diving model keeps the price low and the dive time high.

Why book with Ask Dahab
Local, vetted operators
We only work with dive centres, guides and boats already established in Dahab — the same operators you'd find if you spent a week asking around town.
No online payment, no risk
Requesting a date costs nothing and takes no card details. You pay the operator directly, in person, on the day.
Real replies, not a bot
A person checks availability with the operator and gets back to you on WhatsApp, usually within a few hours.
Transparent pricing
The price shown is the indicative local price. We confirm the exact total with you before you commit to anything.
Safety & cancellation
Cancellation
You don't pay anything when you request a date, so there's no deposit and nothing to refund. If your plans change, message us on WhatsApp as early as you can so we can free up the spot with the operator. Some operators may have their own on-the-day policy for very last-minute changes — we'll flag it if it applies to your booking.
Safety
Every experience runs through an established local operator: PADI/SSI-certified instructors for diving and freediving, IKO-certified instructors for kitesurfing, and experienced Bedouin guides for desert, mountain and camel trips. Safety equipment is included wherever the activity needs it — see What's Included above for specifics — and group sizes are capped so guides can keep an eye on everyone.
