Essential Paperwork for SCUBA Divers

• Logbook with your most recent dives in. A minimum of 50 logged dives are needed for the Marine Park itineraries by Egyptian Law.
• Valid diving association certification proof.
• Valid travel insurance.
• A copy of valid diving insurance details per person stating the start and ending date of the diving cover with the exact diving insurance covered by the policy.  Without this document you will be required to purchase diving insurance locally before you may begin diving.
• Special Gear for Divers:SMB (Signal Marker Buoy) with a reel or tether line so divers can inflate the SMB at safety stops.

TRAVEL INSURANCE:

We strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance as additional security in the case of cancellation or interruption of travel plans, lost or damaged luggage, travel delays, illness, or accident.  Keep all boarding passes, ticket copies and receipts for expenses paid during your trip if it later becomes necessary to file a claim.
