For certified freedivers
Freediving training in Dahab
Guided open water sessions at the Lighthouse and the Blue Hole. Swim out from shore, set your line, and dive. No boats, no waiting, just depth and a coach in the water with you.
How it works
Shore entry. No boats. Just depth.
We drive to the dive site with the equipment: buoy, rope and bottom weight. You walk into the water from the shore, swim out, set your line at depth, and train. The instructor is in the water with you the whole time.
Dahab makes open water training straightforward. You reach good depth within minutes of entering the water, no boat and no long surface swim. Warm, calm and clear conditions that let you relax and focus on technique rather than fight the environment.
We use the pool regularly too, for static, dynamic and technique work. Having a clean 25m pool at The Gate Hotel means we can train there whenever it makes sense.

Where we train
Two sites. One for everything up to 50m, one for beyond.
Per-person pricing. Duo is two divers booking together. Equipment can be rented for €20 per session.
The Lighthouse & Mashraba
Shore entry straight from the beach. A calm site that drops to 50m, ideal for technique, equalisation and personal bests. Mashraba nearby is an equally good alternative, we choose on the day based on conditions.
