DIVE ACCIDENT INSURANCE
The latest local regulations say that those who want to dive in the Red Sea have to fulfill the following conditions: You have to have a valid dive certificate, a logbook and a medical statement not older than one year. And you have to have a special insurance for diving accidents. If you don´t have such an insurance you have to take out a local insurance (we work together with DECO International). We offer you this insurance at our office.
A good thing – you can be insured up to three weeks for only once 6.- €.

Dr. Hossam M. Nasef
By filling in a short form in the office and immediate cash payment you are insured at once for the next three weeks during your stay at James & Mac. For detailed information please ask the office staff.
Our tip:
Do it, insure yourself – before it is too late and extremely expensive. One hour of treatment in the chamber is 500.-USD ---oooppps!
MEDICAL CARE
The center has a small but well-equipped pharmacy and treatment room. There we are able to help if ear problems make your dives a masochistic experience or threaten to make diving impossible. If you suffer from pharaoh's revenge (diarrhea), please do not take European medicine (that will make it last longer!). The Egyptian bacillus needs Egyptian medicine. You can get it from us or you should see the hotel´s doctor.
If you are too weak to go to the doctor, he will come to your room. So don´t hesitate to ask us for help or advice if you have any problems.
If you have anything left in your first aid kit at the end of your holidays we would be grateful to you for it, it may help others.
RESTAURANTS AND SHOPPING
Hurghada offers plenty of international and local restaurants.
A dinner in the city of Hurghada is easy to combine with a visit of the harbor and the lively oriental bazaar-area.
Recommendable are the early evening hours for such an excursion when the heat is down and life in the streets is more interesting.
Hurghada is really an interesting place worth being visited with its oriental lifestyle and its different smells at each corner.
