As a PADI 5* Gold Palm Resort (CDWS certified), our emphasis is on high-quality training courses, from Open Water Diver to Divemaster
We feel we have to warn you however that a few of our customers have never left and are still with us working as Divemasters and Instructors. Reef 2000 cannot be held responsible for wayward sons and daughters who swap the real life for a wet suit and come to live in the middle of a desert. It’s not our fault, we are only doing our job and we don’t speak to irate parents, employers or taxmen.
This ones for the kids and they can get started at 8 yrs old! This is a gentle (arms depth) introduction to that unforgettable first breath under water. Done in the pool with a tiny tank we guide the little ‘bubble blowers’ (I bet you’ve called them worse) around the pool and have some fun with them. Parents are welcome to join in, or take the chance to get some quality time in while we take care of the nippers.
Have you ever thought about what it must be like to actually breathe underwater? Well this is your chance to try it in the beautiful Red Sea, under the supervision of a qualified professional diving instructor. All you have to do is kick your fins, open your eyes and enjoy the wonders of the Red Sea reefs. As you glide weightless through the clear waters a kaleidoscope of shimmering fish life and colourful coral gardens surrounds you. Dahab is one of the worlds premiere dive destinations, so while you are here why not make the most of your stay and join the wet suit brigade? Come and see what all the fuss is about.
We look forward to blowing some bubbles with you soon!

The Divemaster is responsible for people, planning, orienting, and at some time nearly every aspect of safe diving. As this is a considerable responsibility, the decision to become a Divemaster should not be made rashly.

Build your bottom time, and build your confidence, as you learn that diving with enriched air isn’t rocket science or difficult!
Enriched air replaces some of the nitrogen you breath underwater with oxygen, so that during a dive you absorb less nitrogen then you would when breathing normal air. This means that you have longer no-decompression limits for each depth than you do using air and are ultimately a safer diver.
The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is designed to teach you the procedures for safe recreational no-decompression diving with enriched air. The course covers the equipment and procedural concerns involving enriched air. You’ll learn how to plan dives and determine your no-decompression limits and your oxygen exposure limits with enriched air. You’ll learn the proper procedures for obtaining enriched air as well as the hazards associated with handling and diving with enriched air. This is a theory only course but you will receive 2 Nirox tanks to be used in your guided dive package.
