RED
SEA
The Red Sea is the
place where thousands of divers from across the world come to
experience its unique bio-diversity and stunning wrecks. As the
closest tropical sea to Europe the Red Sea makes the perfect choice
for both new and experienced divers looking for exceptional value and
superb diving.
The tropical waters
sustain an overwhelming variety of marine flora and fauna, with more
than a thousand species of fish feeding amongst the spectacular coral.
So what makes this slender body of water that divides the
African and Arabian land masses, so attractive to divers? The
answer is temperature. Reef building corals live on a
temperature edge which thrives between 19 and 28 Celsius degrees, the
exact range found in the Red Sea.
Crystal clear, nutrient
poor water adds to the paradise conditions that have created a sea
laden with life that contrasts so greatly with the barren desert
landscape above. Much of the diving is centred on the northern in
Egypt and Israel where dive resorts have flourished. Such resorts are
Sharm el Sheikh, Dahap, El Gouna, Marsa Alam, Hurghada and many
others. All of them offer divers modern facilities, plenty of
accommodation and a variety of diving activities with of course,
access to the best diving in the region.
Some of the most famous
dive sites in the world are found here. Such sites are Ras Mohammed,
The Wrecks of the Thistlegorm and Dunraven, the Straits of the Tiran
and many others. All are located in one small patch of sea where the
Red Sea splits into the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba.
Conditions are more
than perfect for diving. The water is clear and warm all year, there
is plenty of shelter from the prevailing weather and the marine life
that has developed is second to none.
Turtles, sharks, giant
groupers, mantas, jackfish, coral reef fish of every colour and hue,
hard corals, soft corals and wrecks are all commonly seen.
SHARM EL
SHEIKH
Sharm el Sheikh is
possibly the most spectacular diving area in the Red Sea. With some 40
miles of reef, it is richly endowed with dramatic coral drop-offs,
aquamarine bays and coral formations unparalleled in the world. World
–famous dive sites include Ras Mohammed, Tiran Island and the wrecks
of the SS Thistlegorm and the Dunraven. Sharm is the ideal location
for divers and holiday makers alike. The climate is warm and sunny in
the winter and hot in the summer. The water is warm and can be dived
in a wet suit at any time of the year.
Naama Bay is the resort
centre, a bustling hive of hotels, restaurants, shops and bars. The
atmosphere is always friendly and relaxed.

LIVEABOARDS
Do
you want to get away from the crowds and all you really care about is
diving? Are you serious about diving? Do you want to reach into the
most spectacular and remote areas of the Red Sea, away from the resort
towns? Then you want a liveaboard.
Scuba Diving Cruises
(Liveaboards) undoubtedly offer the most convenient way for the
serious diver to visit the most spectacular sites. Liveaboard enables
you to better manage your dive schedules, giving you much more time to
explore distant coral reefs and not so frequented dive sides.
Completely
self-contained, these vessels allows divers to maximise their
underwater opportunities whilst minimising travel time. The biggest
asset is that you live above the dive sites! The majority of
liveaboards include 2-4 dives a day (sometimes even 5)! You can expect
high standard of living with spacious cabins, air-conditions and good
food. Some of the most recent built yachts even have a Jacuzzi!
Liveaboard are great
for groups of friends and especially for lone travellers, as there
will be the chance to meet likeminded people who share your interest
as a diver. The crew will be devoted to your overall enjoyment,
organising launches, dinners and small parties. For many, liveaboards
provide the complete dive experience. There is nothing like having a
beer and watching the sun set after a full day of spectacular
diving.
“A floating hotel for
divers hell-bent on getting maximum enjoyment from a diving holiday.
You can either decide to take on a liveaboard for up to a whole week
or you can either split your holiday time into both a liveabord and on
the tourists’ resorts.”
