What this covers — and what it doesn't
The $38/day figure is a travel budget (food, a mid-range hotel, and local transport). It's built from BudgetYourTrip's average per-person daily costs for Egypt, not from our own dive-site prices.
Diving itself is separate: day-boat trips, gear rental and certification courses vary by operator and we don't publish invented per-dive prices. Use the cost calculator to refine your own travel budget, and check the dive sites in Egypt for the actual spots.
