Een gecertificeerde instructeur legt de uitrusting uit, gaat met je naar beneden en blijft ongeveer 30 minuten naast je tussen kleurrijk koraal en vissen. Vervoer is inbegrepen en de hele ervaring kost je ongeveer een uur van je dag. Wil je voor of na je duik ook snorkelen? De beste plekken vind je in onze <a href=\"https:\/\/booking-tours.com\/nl\/rode-zee-eilat\/\">gids voor snorkelen in Eilat en de Rode Zee<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De sessie begint ter plekke met een briefing van 15 tot 20 minuten over hoe de uitrusting werkt en wat je kunt verwachten. Daarna ga je met je instructeur het water in en verken je ongeveer een half uur in een rustig tempo het rif. De instructeur is de hele tijd bij je en houdt je hand vast als je dat wilt.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deze proefduik in Eilat past bij beginners, stellen, gezinnen met kinderen vanaf 8 jaar en iedereen in goede gezondheid die nieuwsgierig is naar duiken. Je hebt geen certificaat of ervaring nodig. Een uur is genoeg om echt te proeven aan duiken, zonder dat je een stranddag opgeeft. Daarom is het een makkelijke aanvulling op elke vakantie aan de Rode Zee.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vervoer zit in de prijs en je tijd wordt na het boeken bevestigd. Prijzen zijn per persoon en het boekingsformulier toont het exacte totaal voor je groep. De duik vindt dagelijks plaats, afhankelijk van beschikbaarheid, en je kunt tot 36 uur voor de starttijd gratis annuleren. Maak er een hele week van met onze <a href=\"https:\/\/booking-tours.com\/nl\/tours\/dagtrip-petra-vanuit-eilat\/\">Dagtrip Petra vanuit Eilat<\/a>, de <a href=\"https:\/\/booking-tours.com\/nl\/tours\/zonsopgang-sinaiberg\/\">Sina\u00efberg-tour vanuit Eilat<\/a> of een <a href=\"https:\/\/booking-tours.com\/nl\/tours\/prive-dagtrip-cairo-vanuit-eilat\/\">dagtrip naar Ca\u00efro vanuit Eilat<\/a>.
