From gentle, laid back shore diving to the rush of being swept along in a current on an effortless drift on one of the most beautiful reefs imaginable, there is something in the Red Sea to suit all divers.

Book your diving package in advance with Longwood Holidays, and you can take advantage of our specially negotiated rates and rest assured that you'll be diving with some of the best-known and respected dive centres on the Red Sea. All our selected centres are PADI approved, with English-speaking staff.

What's Included
Most land-based packages include tanks, weights, weight belt and air for 2 dives a day, and the services of a dive guide. On many trips an optional third dive is available at an extra cost, payable locally. A full set of diving equipment can be hired and a private guide can be arranged if required at an extra cost, also payable locally (divers with a PADI Scuba Diver qualification may be required to pay a surcharge for a private guide).

• All divers wishing to participate in any packages must present an Internationally recognised diving certificate and log book.
• If you are a PADI Open Water Diver and/or have not dived in the past 6 months and/or have less than 20 logged dives, please expect to undergo a check dive or a Scuba Review, which you will be expected to pay for locally. Please see individual dive centre pages for local rules and costs.
• In addition to your holiday insurance, which must sufficiently cover you for diving, please note in Eilat and at Aqua-sport Taba an additional insurance must be purchased according to local diving law. This covers any emergency medical treatment that may be required in the unlikely event of a diving accident.
