Dive Hurghada

I do hope you are all safe and well during these uncertain times and hope you are weathering the storm.

Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Steve Povey (British Citizen) and I own DIVE UK HURGHADA which I recently set up after it becoming apparent UK Divers needed a safe and respectable Dive company here in Hurghada, Egypt. I currently work with 2 Dive Centres here in Hurghada, both are 5* PADI certified Centres. I also work with a TDI/SDI 5* Certified Centre in Safaga.

All 3 Dive Centres are legally registered here in Hurghada and Safaga and are fully Registered with the CDWS who regulate Diving activities here in Egypt. Please double check the CDWS for illegally operating centres on the CDWS website under Blacklist.

I am a PADI OWSI & Speciality Instructor with over 300 dives in the Red Sea and 500 dives in total, I currently own a Villa in Makadi Bay which is just outside Hurghada and dive most days with the 3 companies I work with. I also have my own car and do many of my guest transfers myself.

I currently work with 2 Dive Centres in the UK and provided them both with Full Boat Charters late last year, they have also rebooked for the end on this year flight permitting. I offer a full range of Services here from Daily Diving, full PADI Courses, Full Boat Charters and course referrals. I also offer VIP boat trips for Snorkelling with the Dolphins for non-divers. I can also arrange PADI IDC courses with a very well-respected Course Director here in Egypt.
