Red Sea Diving Holidays
Diving The Red Sea – An underwater paradise
Diving holidays in the Red Sea have an excellent reputation and attract scuba divers and snorkellers from all over the world. One of the great attractions of diving the Red Sea is the quality and diversity of Red Sea hotels and resorts on the stunning Red Sea Riviera in Egypt, just a 5 hour flight from Britain. Diving the Red Sea opens up a vast area of amazing underwater scenery with coral gardens, deep blue canyons and famous wrecks like the Thistlegorm and the Dunraven. One look at the huge schools of fish and dramatic walls of the Ras Mohammed and Tiran Island dive sites near Sharm el Sheikh and you will see why diving the Red Sea has become so popular. Other famous Red Sea diving sites include Giftun Island in Hurghada and the amazing Canyon and Blue Hole near the romantic resort of Dahab. Diving the Red Sea is an attractive option from Marsa Alam and the southern Hamata region with its spectacular marine parks and pristine reefs. Other popular bases for diving the Red Sea include Nuweiba, El Gourna, El Quesir and Soma Bay. Diving the Red Sea from live-aboard cruises allows divers to explore distant practically untouched dive sites.
