What if I see a shark?

 

Congratulations! Sharks are amazing marine animals, and encounters with the graceful creatures are highly sought out by divers around the world. Despite what many people believe, sharks are not mindless killing machines, and attacks on divers are very rare. Mostly, sharks will swim quickly away underwater, but, if you’re lucky, you may get to see them in their natural habitats for an extended period of time.


Does your scuba diving certification expire?

 

No. Most recreational scuba certifications do not expire. However, it is important to keep up to date with your knowledge and skills to ensure a fun and safe dive.

Many operators will ask to see a log of your latest dive, and if you have not been in the water recently, you will have the chance to complete a skills check or refresher course.


What are the three basic rules of scuba?

 

The 'rule of thirds' means that you should use a third of your air for descending, a third for return, and then have a third left in reserve for your ascent.

 


What are the rules for diving in Egypt?

 

The maximum depths: unless you are a tech diver or have a deep dive specialty – which in this case allows you to dive up to 40m – you can only dive until 30m. That's the rule for every diving center. Safety buoy: when diving without a guide, it is mandatory to have a safety buoy.
