Overview

An intro dive in Eilat is the easiest way to see the Red Sea from the inside, even if you have never breathed underwater before. A certified instructor explains the equipment, takes you down and stays at your side for about 30 minutes among colorful coral and fish. Transport is included, and the whole experience takes about an hour of your day.

The session starts on site with a 15 to 20 minute briefing on how the gear works and what to expect. You then go into the water with your instructor and spend roughly half an hour exploring the reef at a relaxed pace. The instructor is with you the entire time and will hold your hand if you want.

This intro dive in Eilat suits first-timers, couples, families with kids aged 8 and over and anyone in good health who is curious about diving. No certificate or experience is needed. One hour is enough to get a real feel for diving without giving up a beach day, so it is an easy add-on to any Red Sea holiday.

Transport is part of the price, and your session time is confirmed after booking. Prices are per person, and the booking form shows the exact total for your group. The dive runs daily, subject to availability, and you can cancel for free up to 36 hours before the start time. Make a week of it with our Petra tour from Eilat, the Mount Sinai tour from Eilat or a Cairo day tour from Eilat. Pick your day and book your intro dive in Eilat today.

First 15 to 20 minutesBriefing with your instructor
On site, your certified instructor spends 15 to 20 minutes showing you how the equipment works and how to breathe and move underwater. It is a short, friendly introduction to scuba diving, and you can ask anything you like.
Gearing upInto the water
With the equipment on, you enter the water together with your instructor. You get comfortable at the surface first, then go down slowly at a pace that feels right for you.
About 30 minutesUnderwater on the reef
You spend roughly half an hour below the surface of the Gulf of Aqaba, the northern arm of the Red Sea. The water is clear, and your instructor stays beside you the whole time, ready to hold your hand.
HighlightCoral and colorful fish
The best part is the marine life: bright coral reef formations and fish in every color moving around you. It is a view most people only ever see in films.
EndBack on shore
Back at the surface you take off the gear and talk through what you saw with your instructor. Drinks are not included, so bring water or a little cash. The rest of the day in Eilat is yours, and our list of things to do in Eilat has plenty of ideas.
