Diving in Egypt

Egypt’s reefs are brimming over with life; bright corals and clouds of fish dazzle with a kaleidoscope of colour. Stating that the waters here are calm and clear seems like a bit of an understatement.

There are sites that do experience current and in some locations operators do use drift diving protocols. Egypt offers the full gambit of diving opportunities; wrecks, walls, drifts, pinnacles, shore dives, day boats and liveaboards too. There are sites suitable for all levels and some good areas to learn as well as exciting open ocean sites for the more advanced diver. Due to the excellent visibility and the easy access to excess depths it’s an attractive location for technical diving and training.

Many of the diving destinations offer access to famous Egyptian historic sites, but it’s also easy to arrange a holiday split over a couple of places to take in some diving and some culture too.
