Diving In Egypt

The Red Sea in Egypt is a world-renowned scuba diving destination, offering diverse marine life, vibrant coral reefs, and fascinating shipwrecks. The northern and southern regions offer unique diving experiences, with the north featuring famous wrecks like the SS Thistlegorm, and the south boasting encounters with sharks and rays. Diving is possible year-round, with March to May and September to November often cited as the best times for comfortable weather and visibility

Best Diving Locations:

  • SS Thistlegorm:

    A British warship sunk during World War II, now a popular wreck dive with intact cargo including vehicles and equipment, according to Bluewater Travel.

  • Elphinstone Reef:

    Known for its steep walls, vibrant coral gardens, and encounters with oceanic whitetip sharks, hammerheads, and other pelagic species.

  • Brothers Islands:

    Big Brother and Little Brother offer dramatic encounters with manta rays and various shark species, according to Bluewater Travel.

  • Marsa Shoana:

    A local dive site in Marsa Alam known for its diverse ecosystems, including turtles, rays, dolphins, and dugongs

When to Dive:

  • Spring (March to May):

    Offers comfortable weather, best for seeing whale sharks, but can be crowded, according to PADI Travel.

  • Summer (June to August):

    Hotter temperatures, but attracts hammerheads to the north, according to PADI Travel.

  • Autumn (September to November):

    Comfortable weather, good for thresher sharks and manta rays.

  • Winter (December to February):

    Cooler temperatures, but can have reduced visibility due to plankton blooms, according to Bluewater Travel
