Learning to scuba dive is an incredible adventure!

With Red Sea Tribe as your diving center and PADI as your training organization, your path to breathing underwater is accomplished in three exciting phases:

1. Diving Knowledge Development

Learn the lingo! During the first phase of your PADI Open Water Diver scuba certification, you develop an understanding of the basic principles of scuba diving. You learn things like how pressure affects your body, how to choose the best scuba gear and what to consider when planning dives.

You briefly review what you have studied in the five knowledge sections with your instructor and take a short quiz to be sure you’re getting it. At the end of the course, you’ll take a longer quiz that makes sure you have all the key concepts and ideas down. You and your instructor will review anything that you don’t quite get until it’s clear.

With Red Sea Tribe you can select the knowledge development option you prefer:

• Start right now and learn to scuba dive online with PADI eLearning at your own pace—anytime, anywhere (great for busy schedules).
• Contact us now and book you diving course with Red Sea Tribe (great value holiday plans and fantastic diving).
• Attend a scheduled scuba diving class at your local PADI dive shop (great for meeting new friends and dive buddies).
• Take advantage of home study using PADI multimedia materials (manual, video, CD-Rom) so less classroom time when you are in Dahab.

2. Confined Water Dives – Scuba Skills Training

This is what it’s all about – diving. You develop basic scuba skills by diving in shallow water with pool-like conditions surrounded by fish. You will learn everything from setting up your scuba gear to how to easily get water out of your scuba mask without surfacing. You’ll also practice some emergency skills, like sharing air or replacing your scuba mask.

Plus, you may play some games, make new friends and have a great time.

There are five confined water dives, with each building upon the previous. Over the course of these five dives, you attain the skills you need to dive in open water.

3. Open Water Dives

After your confined water dives, you and the new friends you’ve made continue learning during four open water dives with your Red Sea Tribe PADI Instructor at a dive site. This is where you fully experience the underwater adventure – at the beginner level, of course. You may make these dives near the diving center or after a 30 min. jeep drive to the south of Dahab.
