Why is Dive Urge Different?

We guarantee a 4-1 ratio for all divers for ALL our courses and guided diving.
This way YOU get the attention you need on courses and guided dives and we help reduce the environmental impact on our fragile reefs too.
It is a lot easier to watch over four divers than the normal 6 - 8 + as with most clubs here in Dahab.
