Best Dive Sites

The Egyptian Red Sea offers a fantastic display of marine diversity and an impressive array of different diving conditions and environments. High-speed currents or gentle drift dives, colourful walls with monumental boulders or endless valleys of coral gardens, seamounts and pinnacles or lunar-like seascapes, the Red Sea boasts it all. There are frequent sightings of turtles, moray eels, different kind of rays and once in a while some reef sharks.
