Egypt

Explore Egypt

Diving in Egypt offers an unparalleled experience for enthusiasts looking to explore the vibrant depths of the Red Sea. Known for its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life, Egypt provides a diverse range of dive environments from stunning coral reefs to dramatic wall dives and historic wrecks. One of the most famous sites is the SS Thistlegorm, a World War II shipwreck that attracts divers from all over the world. With a mix of shore dives, boat excursions, and liveaboards, divers of all levels can find their perfect adventure. The Red Sea's excellent visibility and warm waters create the ideal conditions for capturing the colorful fish, intricate corals, and the occasional dolphin or turtle sighting on camera.

Seasonal changes add a layer of excitement and variety to diving in Egypt. From March to May, divers are treated to the chance of spotting whale sharks, while the hotter months of June to August bring the thrill of encountering hammerhead sharks. As the sea cools from September to November, manta rays and thresher sharks make their appearances. Even during the low season from December to February, when ocean temperatures dip to around 22°C/72°F, the visibility is at its finest, offering pristine views of the underwater landscape. However, dive sites can become crowded during the high seasons as dive tourism peaks, so planning ahead is essential to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience.
