AATC is organizing three consecutive scuba diving trips to Dahab, Egypt in October of 2023. You can participate in either one of them, or all of them if you like.
- 2023-10-01 to 2023-10-07 – Primary focus on recreation and certification
- 2023-10-08 to 2023-10-13 – Primary focus on technical diving
Cost without airplane tickets (1000 EUR).
You don’t have to fly with us if you find a better airplane ticket offer from you location. We will meet in on site. Both recreation and technical diving is available during each stay. You can get trainings and certificate too.
Cost Estimation
| Cost [EUR] | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance | 30 | Includes diving and travel |
| Hotel | 250 | Per-person in a shared room with other trip participants |
| Transport in Egypt | 20 | Transfer from SSH airport to Dahab. Given that 8 people will be in a car |
| Diving package | 450 | 6 days of diving, this includes all trips, car drivers, dive leader, air or Nitrox 32, etc. |
| SIM Card | 15 | If you want internet access (wifi in the hotel is not that good) |
| Food at the restaurant | 135 | If you eat a fancy meal at the restaurant every day for a week |
| Equipment rental | 100 | If you want to rent all diving equipment (optional, if you have your own equipment) |
| (optional) Transport in Poland | 20 | From Krakow to KTW airport and return |
| (optional) Airplane ticket | 480 | KTW-SSH and return flight |
Note, that the airplane tickets are 1/3 of a price. If you stay for a two or three weeks price won’t go up that much. Also you can get equipment rental and diving package discounts for longer stays.
This is trip retainer not a final offer legally speaking. This is payment needed for securing your spot during the trip and then pay for expenses.
Final price might differ. This is cost estimation based on our trip to Dahab in March 2023. Note that some prices might differ. Currently there is a very good exchange rate for EUR to EGP (Egyptian currency). Please mind that final cost might differ depending on airplane ticket cost, food, sim card, insurance etc. And therefore you might be asked to pay some more. We do not anticipate that, and we don’t want that, but this is absolutely beyond our control.
Only partial return is possible. If I buy a plane ticket for you, or reserve a hotel in your name, I won’t be able to refund those costs to you!
