Topic: Booking

Do the pre-booked dive packages have to be dived at one stretch?

What happens if I have booked a dive package in advance, but then I have to cancel the trip?

In case of cancellation of the trip we will transfer the total amount back. Inform us by mail with the account details for the refund.

Can I pay for the dive package later on site?

Wenn du möchtest, kannst du uns die Summe für dein Tauchpaket/deine Tauchtage auch von Hurghada aus per Echtzeitüberweisung senden.

How do I book my dive package as a 'returner' with lots of diving experience, if I want to start with a full day trip?

Just book an available diving package in our Red Sea Shop. Üblicherweise startet dein Tauchurlaub mit einer Einsteigertour, auf der du dich an zwei einfachen, flachen Plätzen entspannt eintauchen kannst. Bist du ein erfahrener Taucher und warst schon oft im Roten Meer, kannst du auch gleich mit einer regulären Ganztagesfahrt beginnen. Gib uns kurz vor oder nach direkt deiner Ankunft einfach kurz Bescheid.

Can I use my Return Card / Dive-Visa for the already cheaper online diving package?

Ja, mit deiner Wiederkommerkarte/Diva-Visa erhältst du in unserem Onlineshop den gleichen Rabatt wie vor Ort.

Which is cheaper, the Return Card / Dive-Visa or pre-booking?

Unsere Preise im Red Sea Shop und vor Ort unterscheiden sich nicht. Aktionen gibt es jedoch nur online in unserem Shop.

Is there an exception (!) to the sharing of a pre-booked dive package for diving parents with infant(s)?

Yes, parents can share a dive package.

Why should I not book equipment in advance with the family diving package?

Solltet Ihr Euch entscheiden, ein Familientauchpaket vorzubuchen, müsst ihr keine Leihausrüstung hinzubuchen. Ihr könnt die Leihausrüstung ganz einfach und problemlos vor Ort hinzubuchen. So werden nur die Tage/Tauchgänge berechnet, an denen ihr die geliehene Ausrüstung auch wirklich benutzt.

What about a pre-booked dive package if I am going on a Minisafari?

2 or 3 full day trips will be taken from your dive package plus the appropriate on-site surcharge depending on the type of Minisafari.
