Overview

Egypt's Red Sea is one of the world's premier diving destinations. Warm, clear water year-round, spectacular coral reefs, dramatic walls and world-famous wrecks draw divers from across the globe to Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Sharm el-Sheikh and beyond. With abundant marine life — from reef fish and turtles to dolphins and, on the offshore reefs, sharks — and superb visibility, the Red Sea offers everything from a first try-dive to liveaboard expeditions to legendary sites.

Reefs, walls and wrecks

The Red Sea coast offers house reefs straight off the beach, vibrant coral gardens, sheer walls and famous wrecks. Day boats and liveaboards reach the offshore reefs and the most celebrated sites. The warm water (22–29°C) and consistent visibility make Egypt a year-round destination and one of the best places in the world to learn.
