Need information on the diving center in the hotel
We are going to the Brayka Bay Resort 5* in July. We read that there is a diving center there. We would like to know how much it will cost to obtain an Open Water certificate there (we don’t have any certificate at all). And where is it more profitable to get this certificate - in Moscow in a diving center or in Egypt (immediately in open water). We will be very grateful to everyone who will tell you some information: the timing of the course, the cost of the course to obtain the OW certificate. Please write to mail 33100(doggy)mail.ru

I have already written to you.
I also want to draw your attention - there you can get a certificate for swimming with a scooter (underwater). Training + certificate costs 116 euros-60 training + TAX6 and 50 certificate. But training is carried out only if you have a diving certificate.

Elena, thank you very much for the very useful information. For myself, they made certain conclusions on diving.
I would like to know in more detail about how much exactly to go from Hurghada to the hotel and whether the path is dangerous. Also, what tours would you recommend?
P.S. We're driving from Pegasus.

Yes, only "Pegasus" signed a contract there, we also rode it. There were no complaints, we did not meet with the guide at all.
The ride takes 3 hours 40 -50 minutes. The path is not dangerous, if you go there, sit behind the driver, you will look at the sea. Although the desert is also fascinating.
Tours. I wouldn’t take anything (opponent of long journeys and quick excursions) and it will be hot, especially in the valley of the kings (the hottest place on the planet, many don’t even get off the bus)
, except for Abu-dababa, there are a lot of turtles. But you can go to Abu-dababa yourself (if only snorkeling)
And my question is, what did you decide on diving?

For diving, we will now calculate the final amount (we have a diving center in Moscow in Olimpiyskiy, where the entry level costs 7,400 rubles per person, without the cost of equipment rental). It will be necessary to contact them and clarify what final amount we can get at all in obtaining a PADI Open Water certificate. And proceeding from this, already think about what we will pull. And so for snorkeling, my son will have to buy a mask with diopters, I need a mask with ears and another + 3 wetsuits :-)

If you buy wetsuits, note that there are wetsuits with helmets, then a mask with ears is not needed.

Thanks for the advice, we'll take it into account. But that mask with ears http://www.diskus.ru/catalog/masks/?par1=325 that I want to buy does not let water through (protects the ears), as professionals say, ash up to a depth of 70 meters. I don't know how well helmeted wetsuits protect the ears (I'm not a diving pro).

I understand that you will not go to 70m, the most interesting dives are 15-30m.
By the way, in Braika for beginners, there is a paradise - a smooth entrance to the sea (you can also on the zodiac), you can swim at 6-9 m.

2) what you need to complete the first aid kit;
3) whether there are problems with the stomach due to the peculiarities of local food.

For depths above 7m, in my opinion, you need a camera with a special box. If snorkeling, film-400 is suitable. They are disposable and reusable. It is possible, if you already have a digital camera, to buy a box separately (again, they are not suitable for every camera.
This time I had problems with my stomach for the first time - I got poisoned (in my opinion, with a cutlet that I once gnawed) Take activated charcoal, something for diarrhea. Rice saved me every day. And I had to postpone diving.

Elena, please, can you explain in more detail what the prices for diving depend on (you wrote that the prices are 20-30-80 euros).
When we were in Turkey in the city of Kas, we went diving. So there, without having a diver's certificate, you could dive with an instructor, he almost led by the hand). Is it also possible here?

Yes, perhaps the so-called introdive. Moreover, last year's divers from Karelia dived with us (they flew in specially to dive with us). They had a friend who wanted to dive, but did not have a certificate. it didn’t work out (the Germans work there, who are very scrupulous about security issues, so he took an introdive from the hotel guides and they took him out somewhere and at 15 meters (he really tried to flood me, which was at 30m) he dived.
The price of diving depends on where the object you want to see is located. At Elphinstone there is just 80, if my memory serves me. If you go by ship, this is at least two dives + lunch. And we have a 10% discount It just works without taxes.
The cheapest are coastal, you can from the zodiac, they do not charge money for the zodiac.
About the handle with an instructor is not the best option.
Ideally, when you are ready for independent diving, so still make every effort to get a certificate at home and work out in the pool with a Russian-speaking instructor.
Our guys are setting up a tent camp in the Crimea and we could go there, but there are conditions, living in tents, not everyone can do it.

And I also draw your attention - this time they started to move out (21 people flew in with our children) - there was a claim from the hotel to tourists - somewhere they found a torn off handle, they probably wanted money.
So you immediately after settling in, make an audit so that everything is fine
And the hotel is good. The only thing that confuses me is will it be too warm for you at this time of the year?

My husband traveled with a company to Sharm El Sheikh in 2008, also in the month of July, so he said that during this period it is much better and easier to endure the heat than during the same period in Turkey.

Elena, I also wanted to ask - how long does one dive last?
And yet, I have a request to you, you do not know the site
diving club at the hotel, how can I contact them?
We now have the following alignment: 8400 rubles. on weekends (with equipment rental) there is a basic Refferal course in a diving club in the Olympic pool. A trip to open water will cost about 8,100 rubles more. per person, respectively. We were told that we can take a basic course in Russia and get a Refferal, and when we go to the sea, where there are official RADI diving centers, we can get Open Water. So, I would like to contact a diving center in Egypt and ask them how much Open Water will cost. Maybe you have the coordinates of this diving center, then you can contact them and check with them.

The Zodiac is a rubber (or other) boat, which is taken out not far so that you can see everything nearby. Moreover, in Braika they are very often taken to a certain point, and then you go under water to the shore, the boat does not wait.
One dive usually lasts a maximum of 60-65 minutes. More often 40-45 minutes. How much air is enough.
I'm not a Russian, it's hard for me to navigate in your rubles. The main thing is, I can't understand, is this a normal price for you? It is best to get a PADI or CMAS (for me) in your home country.
I am sending you the address.

They answer quickly and efficiently, but they do not speak Russian. They are Germans. Tom and Christina, as well as their employees.
By the way, they have a whole network of clubs around the globe, and the discounts that they give in one of the clubs are valid everywhere.

Elena, well, look: a ticket for the three of us cost 125,000 rubles. ($4000). Obtaining OW certificates in Russia is another 50,000 rubles. ($ 1600) + there will still be expenses for snorkels, masks, fins, diving overalls + more local excursions. Still, it's hard to do it all at once. We decided to leave diving certificates on the trail. year, i.e. do within a year.

Yes, it's getting expensive. We flew from Rostov 11 days-12 nights. Each cost 960 dollars.
The certificate I received two years ago CMAS cost me about $ 250.
The training was also adequate. And I was very lucky with the instructor - he REALLY wanted to teach you. I already wrote to you about him - a camp for a month and a half in the Crimea and diving every day.
From the equipment I still don’t have a BBC (the vest where the balloon is attached) And this year I’m calling where they promised to give it, my mother picked up the phone, I explain the essence of the matter, she tells me, I write it down, takes a pencil and writes, repeating aloud-BCDin. In a second, the question is what is the medicine?
And about local excursions, think a hundred times before you go in such heat and so far.

good afternoon, my family and I also rested in July in this hotel, only unfortunately in 2007, the hotel is cool, not hot, the reef is the best, be sure to buy masks for flippers here, there are simply no shops, the diving club is German, while Russian-speaking there was no instructor, moreover, they didn’t even take English to study, but we dived with the Koraya Reef Divers club. As I don’t remember in English, the Russian dive master Alisha (Alla) taught us everything and issued a certificate, it costs something about 250 bucks and it’s with diving, it’s not interesting to study in Moscow, but there you learn and dive ... Alisha’s phone and this club are given in the hotel’s diving club, it’s not very far from the connection with excursions and the road with a transfer first to Safaga, and then where you need to ...
only with Abu Dabab, but if you study with Alisha, she takes you there to dive, suits will be rented, equipment too, the price of diving is from 50-80 bucks from a yacht, I don’t advise from the zodiac, it’s difficult for beginners ... Manatee A dababe there is - she swam nearby, you just need to find it with an experienced instructor or guide on a snorkel. If there is anything else you are interested in, please ask...

we were in July, there were no flies and mosquitoes, did we live in the "Sport-in" building? If you have a standard, then the Russians offer the "Mountain" and "sport" buildings - the mountain is far away and on the hill, in my opinion it is not very convenient, rest at the reception and ask for sports and garden, they will break but they will give you. We did not give money for the settlement. I want to warn against corals (yellow, they grow in beautiful twigs), they are burning and the burn is quite strong, especially on children's skin. In the morning, when entering the sea, look under your feet, often the slopes (gray-blue - almost invisible) lie right next to the shore. Do not go to a wild beach, it is far, hot and almost always you get into low tide - do not swim. If you are not swimming very confidently from the bay, it is better not to swim out - a very strong current. If you have an individual transfer, then on the way they will bring you to a local cafe ... everything is very expensive there ... there is a shop next to it, where water and juices are much cheaper.
On the territory of the hotel there are shops (souvenirs, slippers, cotton) in them everything is 5 times more expensive than at the airport, so put away souvenirs until departure. Regarding the camera ... there is an Olympus for underwater filming (about 15-18 thousand), it is up to 10 meters, it takes pictures very well and without boxing ... Have a good rest ...

Thanks for the shop tip. And special thanks for the coral warning. Very strained information about stingrays. Personally, I don’t know how to dive at all, but only swim (especially in fins and for long distances), so I’m already dumb as soon as I read about stingrays. Are they very dangerous? And which ones would you recommend to take with a nurse? remedies for coral burns?

Two, there are a lot of stingrays and stingrays - they like to lie in warm water.
But you still need to manage to step on them.
This time we observed a medium scorpionfish almost at the entrance, the last time we hovered over a snake, and also not far from the shore.
There is a golden rule regarding corals and other living creatures - do not touch ANYTHING with your hands.

stingrays themselves are afraid of us, so it's okay, just look under your feet. Scorpionfish (poisonous) were not seen close to the shore, but kralatki are constantly caught, they themselves do not attack, but you absolutely cannot touch them with your hands - they are also poisonous. Here is a lot of information on slaves and others http://www.webdive.ru/fotocat .php?t=1&id=198&mode=view.
about burns, you must immediately rinse, it is better in an alkaline environment (Mydo, soda) and treat with myromistin (antiseptic), if it fester - erythromycin ointment, if you are allergic, then something from allergies, small cuts - you can honey.
