The PADI Drift Diver specialty teaches you to glide effortlessly along Sharm El Sheikh's current-swept reefs, an essential skill for the Red Sea's most dramatic sites around Ras Mohammed. You learn to stay grouped, deploy a surface marker buoy and let the current do the work. It transforms current from a challenge into the highlight of the dive.
PADI delivers drift diving via eLearning and two dives, issuing the Drift Diver specialty card; an SMB is a core skill taught and practised on the course.
The currents around Ras Mohammed National Park and Sharm's outer reefs create world-class drift diving, sweeping you past reef sharks and dense schools of fish. Dives run to 30m with 20-30m visibility, so staying oriented in the flow is straightforward.
