With its clear, warm waters and colourful marine life, The Red Sea is the number one destination for divers in Europe and the UK amd of the eight nations with Red Sea coastlines, Egypt continues to attract the greatest number of diving visitors.
Variety is the Red Sea's great strength. Those in search of sharks can head to the offshore islands of Egypt, Sudan or Djibouti; while divers with a penchant for small animals will be delighted with the bizarre invertebrate life of Eritrea's remote Hanish Islands. The Red Sea has scores of shipwrecks waiting to be explored, such as the stately Cedar Pride in Jordan, or the underwater museum of SS Thistlegorm in Egypt, possibly the world's most popular dive site. As the great Jacques Cousteau once said, 'The Red Sea is a corridor of marvels - the happiest hours of my diving life have been spent there.'
Dive Red Sea offers fresh new insights into the classic Egyptian dives, as well as exploring a few spots that have only recently been discovered. Dive Red Sea also delves far beyond the shores of package tourism, unlocking the secrets waiting to be enjoyed in the Red Sea's new frontiers, destinations such as Sudan, Eritrea and Djibouti.
