My first time in Dahab brought me to the Dive Urge. Although I am not (yet) a diver I decided to book a beautiful seaview room at the Dive Urge. This place is worth a visit! Transportation from Sharm el Sheikh airport to Dahab included, complimentary bottled water the whole day and a great breakfast to name only some of... More

Once I got over the fact that Dahab looks like it was shelled recently, I settled into the charm of the place. There is no mistaking the fact that this is Egypt and not some random hot country with a beach covered in sun loungers. Nestled in amongst the debris is Dive Urge and what an oasis of relaxation and... More

Dahab is a young town, still evolving in fact and as with all young towns there is some construction going on here and there in parts of Dahab, but I think it is, as you said, ‘overcome by the charm of the place’ We are so pleased that you both enjoyed the atmosphere of Dive Urge and although it does...

Two visits in 6 months ,one for a Paadi course and one with my wife to soak up the sun and snorkel, have convinced me that Diveurge has that magic that many others strive for.

I visited Dive Urge for a week to do the PADI Open Water Diver course. I had no previous experience with scuba diving, but picking Dive Urge as my dive center was the best, lucky decision I could have possibly made!

I hadn't really planned on embarking on diving...but the weather was windy so that snorkelling wasn't possible (sea too choppy) so I gave it a go. I was a nervous complete novice and can only say that our instructor (there were just two of us learners) Ahmed was brilliant; patient, calm, and encouraging. We had a really inspiring dive at...
