Travel & Transfer Details:
 
AIRPORT INFO 
 
Two of the most popular airports to fly into Egypt are Hurghada and Cairo. For Grand Sea Explorer, flying into Hurghada (HRG) provides the easiest transfer to the vessel. This airport is within a 5-hour direct flight from cities Istanbul, Paris, London, Frankfurt, Zurich, and many more. Flights from North America range 12-15 hours and may fly through Cairo with a connection to Hurghada.

 

Hurghada (HRG) Egypt is served by a number of airlines and can be booked by the traveler or can be booked as part of the add on and tour pricing above by SingleDivers.com. Our air consolidator will book air from your home city or from JFK to Cairo and throughout Egypt for either the tours we are offering or to Hurghada for the boat.  If booking on your own please check online or with your travel agent for pricing and schedule information if you are booking it. After you make your reservation, please include your flight arrival/departure information in your documents or email to trips@singledivers.com

 

Transfers are included only from Hurghada airport (HRG) to the boat and back to the airport.  It is the traveler's responsibility for any other transfers.

 

 

VISA/PASSPORT INFORMATION
 
Upon entry, visitors to Egypt will be required to purchase a visa unless they come from a visa exempt country. Depending on the airport, we include the visa in the onboard charges which guests will pay once they arrive on the vessel.

Red Sea Diving & Itinerary:
The Grand Sea Explorer will depart from Hurghada, Egypt in 2021. This unique itinerary offers 7 nights/8 days of diving in 3 famous Red Sea regions. You will explore the revered Brothers Islands, Daedelus Reef and Elphinstone Reef. All part of the Red Sea’s protected Marine Parks, these islands are an oasis of sea life.

 

Brother’s Islands: The two Brother’s Islands are a remote and low-lying volcanic group. Tops of mighty underwater mountains, these pinnacles offer extraordinary wall diving along their entire perimeters attracting large pelagics. Oceanic whitetips, hammerheads, and schools of tuna can be seen cruising by. A forest of soft corals sprawls over the dive sites, creating a breathtaking underwater scene.

 

Daedelus Reef: 180km South of Brother’s Islands, lies the even more remote Daedelus Reef. Protected in 1986, it is an isolated lighthouse surrounded by an oval reef. Drop below the surface and you will find some of the most stunning diving in the Red Sea. Typical of Daedalus are its huge and pristine hard coral walls and the possibility of spotting schooling hammerheads. Thresher sharks, mantas and whale sharks are spotted here too.

 

Elphinstone Reef: Legendary is the word used to describe Elphinstone Reef. The last standalone reef, this is the final stop of the Red Sea itinerary. Its North and South plateaus and walls are covered in vibrant soft corals, and hammerheads and grey reef sharks are regularly seen on dives. Susceptible to currents, Elphinstone is your best chance to see Oceanic Whitetips and many other blue water pelagics.

To maximize the time guests will be able to explore these mesmerizing regions, up to 4 dives will be offered daily (depending on season), and all diving is done from the ease of 3 dive tenders. From May through September, up to 4 dives a day are offered.

Experience Required & Training/Workshops:
 
Experience Required & Training & Workshops
 

There are no SingleDivers.com training activities nor workshops currently planned for this trip.  We are happy to check with the resort/liveaboard about doing training during your trip and what they would charge. Often they will give us a better price so feel free to ask us to assist.  If you would like us to help arrange additional training for you, send an email to trips@singledivers.com for help.

We will also check to see if any of our trip participants are instructors who would like to teach on the trip and let you know.  We are glad you are interested in continuing your dive education and we hope we can help you continue your goal of ongoing training.

 

  • Minimum Certification / Experience: Red Sea diving is generally open to ALL levels of certification OW and up, at any experience level. However since this trip covers a number of islands and reefs so we are requiring all divers have at least ADVANCED OPEN WATER and/or 40-50 dives. SOMETIMES THE EGYPTIAN GOVT REQUIRES THAT DIVERS SHOW THEIR LOG BOOKS. PLEASE BE PREPARED.   If you have any questions about your ability to safely and comfortably make this trip please email trips@singledivers.com and we will discuss your diving experience to date and how it may or may not mesh with this trip. IF you are a new diver and wish to join this trip please email kamala@singledivers.com for more options!
  • Certification in Paradise - Ask us about different certifications available on this trip. Its always nice to get certified in Paradise. Let us help you do this!  Email trips@singledivers.com for more information.
  • Advanced Open Water - includes several 'advanced dives' such as navigation, night, and deep plus several choices of your own including photography, peak buoyancy, etc. Email trips@singledivers.com for more information.
  • Nitrox - includes book work, classroom instruction and sometimes the manual. Some classes include the use of a nitrox compatible computer and the gas itself. Some classes will give you a reduced rental rate for the computer and use of the gas if you take the class during the trip.  Email trips@singledivers.com for more information.
  • Solo Certification - This cert will enable you to dive independently of a human dive buddy by training you to dive with a mechanical dive buddy aka a pony bottle or stage bottle. - Ask about the 'enhanced solo skills' where the instructor will challenge you with several additional skills that will complement your solo cert skills enabling you to be even MORE independent and self sufficient in the water. Email trips@singledivers.com for more information.

PRICES: Prices for classes in Paradise are always more expensive than doing them at home. Sometimes SingleDivers.com has instructors on our trips who are happy to teach AND usually offer a member discount to anyone interested in taking a class. The more that take a class the more feasible a discount become.

Insurance, Documentation & Terms &Conditions:

 

TRIP AND DIVING INSURANCE ARE MANDATORY FOR THIS TRIP:
 
DIVE Insurance is required on all trips! DIVE insurance is VERY inexpensive. Even if you have insurance that you think covers DIVING ACCIDENTS and air lifts it is CHEAP (approx $100-$125) to get a supplemental policy to ensure you are covered for an entire year of diving.  NOTE: DAN is secondary ins which means you pay and they reimburse anything not covered by other ins policies. DiveAssure.com is PRIMARY insurance meaning they pay directly to the provider without your involvement.
 
PRO TIP; The two primary suppliers of dive insurance DiveAssure.com and DAN are inexpensive enough to carry both. This way you will have the best coverage internationally, the best coverage domestically, primary insurance, secondary insurance and if a claim is denied on one policy you can submit it on the other. No matter what happens...YOU ARE COVERED!!! ... PRICELESS!!!

 

We recommend:
 
Dive Assure: for either a 'one time' policy OR an annual policy for BOTH Dive & Trip Insurance providing PRIMARY COVERAGE with excellent rates and coverage! Please use THIS LINK and/or reference SingleDivers.com via the drop-down menu under GLOBAL PARTNERS. (If you cannot find the drop down, do not reference anyone and email info@singledivers.com your policy info and we will do it for you via our Dive Assure company representative. OR SIMPLY USE THIS LINK AND YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TIED TO US.)

Alternatively you can also use....
Diver's Alert Network: Please use our reference number when ordering: ID1603080   (This only works if you are a new first time DAN member.)

  

DOCUMENTATION
All SingleDivers.com trips require necessary documentation to facilitate booking your trip and/or making it a better experience for you.  Once you complete your documents online our automated system will take the information from your last trip with us and fill out your new trip forms for you. You then add any missing information and/or change anything that is no longer current. You will find the forms you need to complete under MY TRIPS which you will find under TRIPS in the main menu across the top of the site. Since each trip requires a unique set of docs, please choose the correct trip from your "My Trips" drop down and then complete the forms required for that trip. Some trips will also ask you to complete the resort or liveaboard's forms as well.  

The AIR AUTHORIZATION FORM is only required when you are having SingleDivers.com book air for you but this includes air that is part of the trip pkg price. 

Not all of our forms are online as they are either infrequently used or being phased out. If you need a form that is not in our online directory, send an email to trips@singledivers.com and ask for the form you need.

 

TERMS & CONDITIONS
All SingleDivers.com trips adhere to the following terms and conditions in addition to other contractual requirements:
