DECOMPRESSION INSURANCE - RED SEA

Every dive operator with at least an ounce of self respect will offer you a chamber insurance when you're checking in. You should be aware of that even if you have a health insurance that covers sport activities it might not extend to scuba diving. Even if yours does, it might not work in Egypt. If you have a DAN insurance it's all green light but if the chamber staff does not recognize your insurance company you might have to pay cash here and then reclaim the money when you come back home.

In Hurghada area there are at the moment three chamber-operators that offer insurance. Two of those are private chambers, HyperMed next to the airport and Deco Support in El Gouna.  The third is the Naval Hyperbaric Hospital located opposite of Grand Azur Hotel. There is also one chamber in Marsa Alam and one in Sharm el Sheikh. When you book your dive holiday, first make sure that the dive operator you are choosing is a affiliated with one of those chambers. This for two reasons: You want to be insured in case something goes wrong and you want the dive operator you're diving with to support the local chamber.

Your insurance will cover you for treatment providing that you follow the rules. The law says maximum 40m depth for recreational diving in Egypt. The same is the maximum allowed depth the private chambers insure to. However, you are also limited to the maximum depth of your dive qualification; Open Water 18m, Advanced Open Water 30m and Deep Specialty Diver 40m. If you break the rules and get bent you can be in for a costly procedure.
