ONGOING Red Sea 2021 TRIP FAQ:

 

  • How to Book

Q. Why can't I seem to be able to book this trip? It won't let me log in and I have tried the recover password several times but it does not help?  4-7-19

A. You must be a premium member aka Premier or above to book our trips. The price is $35 a year of which you can file for a $25 member rebate after every trip you take with us or private travel booking you make. So your membership dues are only $10 after one trip and you are saving even more money with two or more!  SO....please verify your premium membership is current and if you are still having issues please email admin@singledivers.com for add'l help.

 

  • What's Included

    Q. What dive equipment is included in this package? I would assume rental equipment would be available for anything not included? And if so is there an option to pay for that in advance??  (5-1-19)

    A.The pkg price includes air tanks, lead and weight belts if you need them. You need to supply or rent your personal gear i.e. mask, fins, snorkel (if you use one) and safety equipment i..e bcd, regulator, computer, and optional items such as a wetsuit or dive light* if you plan to do a night dive or just want to video, take pictures, look into nooks and crannies or simple see the TRUE COLOR of the REEF washed in its true brilliant colors!  But you are in luck... our uber cool Corporate Sponsor Big Blue Dive Lights is supplying a variety of dive lights and video lights you can USE FOR FREE to see how amazing they are. AND if you buy a Big Blue light BEFORE the trip you qualify for a FREE NIGHT DIVE!!!  Most people wait to pay for rental gear at the resort for several reasons.... sometimes we get multiple corporate sponsors who will allow you to TRY BEFORE YOU BUY and so you get the use of something like a light or computer FOR FREE!!!   And sometimes other members on the trip are happy to loan extras which save ou money so we typically do not collect rental fees in advance ALTHOUGH WE DO SUPPLY THE LIVEABOARD WITH ALL OUR RENTAL NEEDS SO THEY ARE MORE THAN READY but allow them to charge you only what you end up renting during the week. If they offer a 'rental pkg'[ the price is valid at the resort as well as before so its not necessary to pay in advance to save money.

    Q. If I book my own international and domestic Egyptian air (but why would I if SingleDivers.com will do it for me for no fee) what time must I arrive to meet the group and when can I depart so I can use the group transfers and be part of the tours and/or transfers to/from the boat?
    A.  If you are planning to book your own air to Cairo please plan to arrive in Cairo as follows and please do not leave prior to the time listed below. You will need to work around the group flights in order to make your transfer connections. We appreciate your understanding and adherence to this request. :thankyou:
