Diving in the Red Sea, Egypt in regions such as Dahab, Sharm el-Sheik,Tiran, Ras Mohammed, Hurghada and Safaga.

Egypt is a great country for diving and sightseeing. It has nice museums, pyramids and many nice beach resorts. Diving can be done here year around, with water temperatures ranging from 19 degrees in the north to 29 degrees in the south. There are many famous wrecks, huge walls, interesting species, drift dives, caves and more. The Egyptian land climate can be hot and dry, so the best time to go here is between November and February.

For the professional divers who have seen it all, have their own gear and know what and where to go, try to visit the southern less developed regions of Egypt. Try Quseir, Marsa Alam, Ras Banas or even more south to St John's Reef. Or take one of the live-aboards that visit Sudan or the remote islands in the Red Sea. You will be stunned by the coral formations, the marine life and the solitude. Egypt has places where not many divers have dived yet and that is something that reflects in the beauty of the coral.

The novice diver is better of to go to well established diving area's such as Dahab, Hurghada, Tiran and Sharm el-Sheik. Diving here is more crowded and reefs are less colourful and less inhabited with coral and fish, but it is easy to rent diving equipment and many schools can be found. And diving is not the only thing you can do here. Nightlife is great, beaches are very nice and there are many locals who try their best to arrange everything you want.

Some of the top diving locations in Egypt are the stunning British transport wreck the Thistlegorm and several offshore reefs which are only accessible by live-aboard tours. Enjoy these pearls of Egypt!
