As part of my business, I have a lot of people looking to book up diving holiday so they can learn to dive in the sunshine (usually Egypt). Personally I have been diving in Egypt for years and consider it one of the best places in the world and as a PADI Divemaster is a subject I'm always happy to talk about.

For the beginner, Egypt is a great place to learn to dive. The weather is always great, always hot water, visibility is always good and the sea is generally quite quiet. However, the problem is that when you go to Nice warm-weather destinations like Egypt, time is limited. If you are learning to dive, you want as long as possible in water is not spending time with his head in a book.

So how to get around this problem? The answer is quite simple. By learning to dive, The initial course is essentially divided into 3 parts: theory, confined water dives and open water dives. The theoretical part of the course consists of reading a manual and understanding some basics of the sport. The confined water dives are conducted in a pool where you learn a skill set as cleaning the mask under water (do not worry, it's not as bad as it sounds). These competencies have been completed in the course of a couple of jumps and once you are at a sufficient level, that are repeated in the open water (ie – the ocean).

Many people do not realize that it is not necessary to complete the entire course on consecutive days, and those who want to learn to dive can use this to their advantage. I would advise people in general that their best option is to complete the theory and confined water dives in a local dive center. This means that once they reach their holiday destination, all that remains is to complete their open water dives and are certified. In turn, this means they have an extra 3 days holiday left to enjoy his new found status as certified divers who would otherwise be spent studying or in the pool.

The way is pretty simple. The most popular entry level diving certification is the PADI Open Water so you need to complete before your trip, is the referral of Open Water. This covers 3 days of theory and confined water elements, of course, the Open Water. Once completed, all that remains is to complete the final 4 open water dives, which is usually done in 2 days while you are on your vacation spot.

The way to do is quite simple.

1. Find your local dive center, listed in the yellow pages and give them a call to tell them his situation. Explain that you want to take the Open Water Referral (theory and confined water dives). This should not be a problem for any dive center and will be discussed when You can complete this.

2. Contact the dive center in their holiday destination to reserve the final part of your Open Water course, which can also be called Open Water. They can tell you what you need to carry along the final and 4 dives normally must be completed no later than 12 months after the theory and confined water modules.

3. Complete the theory and confined water dives before heading to his vacation spot.

4. In its application, spend only 2 days instead of 5 to complete the final 4 open water dives and congratulations, you are now a certified diver with most of your holiday ahead.
