Tour operators know that for many the love of diving begins with the first lesson of a dive when the instructor literally by the hand takes the brave gentleman who finally decided to see what is underwater, for example, off the Red Sea coast, and leads him from coral to reef, from one flock of picturesque fish to another, etc. Let’s break down the certification of NDL diving.
The underwater colors off the Egyptian coast are wonderful, and on the shore one usually comes out expressing his feelings only in the superlative. This is how about half of the diving tribe is born.
