What is What in Technical Diving in Sharm el Sheikh?

 

Technical diving is any type of diving that takes you beyond the recreational limits in any way and is not just about depth. In technical diving the aim is to achieve extra time at any depth you want! You will begin to utilise different types of diving rigs from twin tanks, for extra gas supply, or even closed circuit rebreathers to discover and utterly silent world with almost perfect buoyancy. The aim of technical diving courses is to make you self-sufficient to deal with any problems that may occur during any of your underwater experiences and it also gives you the knowledge in equipment and theory to be able to plan dives that go beyond the recreational no decompression limits in depth, time or even both.
The team are dedicated and solely focused on delivering all the courses and technical diving need with unparalleled safety, customer service and satisfaction.

 Werner Lau Tek is managed by Aaron Bruce who is the only closed circuit rebreather instructor trainer in Egypt on most rebreathers and is also supported by a dedicated team who are based in Sharm and Marsa Alam.

DIVE SITES

Sharm el Sheikh offers some of the best diving in the Red Sea and we have access to over thirty sites where we dive regularly.
The local spots - along the mainland coast - are all reachable within a maximum journey time of 70 minutes while the journey to the Straits of Tiran can take up to 2 hours.
A day spent there offers a huge choice of different spots for stunning drift dives and mooring dives. Ras Mohamed to the South is 1 ½ hours away and has some of the most famous dive sites in the Red Sea.

The world famous wreck of HMS Thistlegorm lies 4 hours to the south of Sharm el Sheikh and the wreck of the 19th century cargo ship, the Dunraven, lies just 2 ½ hours away. Regular trips are made to both of these wrecks.


In addition to boat diving, shore dives are available right in front of the Dive Centre and we can arrange night dives for you or excursions to Dahab (travelling there by coach) where you can shore-dive at the Blue Hole and the Canyon.
With such a variety of dive sites to choose from, we can guarantee you some wonderful diving.

Your Safety:

We take your safety very seriously. All our boats are fully stocked with first aid kits and oxygen and the recompression chamber - run by a multilingual doctor - is just a few kilometres away near the main harbour.

Diving Courses:

In addition to the daily technical diving available we also offer the whole range of technical diving courses from TDI, from user to instructor at every level.
