Diving Red Sea holidays have built an excellent reputation for themselves over the years and attract scuba drivers and snorkelers from across countries. For experienced divers, the Red Sea has a treasure hidden in its belly. The sea is a witness to many wreck sites which are a part of marine history today. These wrecks are examples which show how nature can make man made things their home! There is the Ghiannis D which is a Greek boat that collided with another wreck and sunk in 1983. Divers get an opportunity to swim through the deserted hull and gawk in awe at moray eels, butterfly fish and shoals of batfish.
Another attraction of the diving holiday in the Red Sea is the Thistlegorm, a British ship. It was sunk after a bomb attack in 1941. It has a place of honor as the top ten diving sites in the world. The cargo of this huge ship is well preserved till date and divers can feast their eyes on the motorbikes, rifles and train carriages of yesteryears.
The Red Sea has narrow and sheltered shores which are responsible for the abundant marine life that exists in it. The sea is a host to over 200 hard and soft species of coral, over 1000 invertebrates and over 110 species of fish out of which 10% are exclusive to the sea. The fish found here are colorful and the marine life also includes turtles, sharks, manta rays and dolphins! With such diversity in marine life, it is no wonder that diving Egypt holidays are so popular among enthusiasts.
The average temperature of the sea is around 26C. The water is clear so visibility is good. It also has a small tidal range. All of these make it a safe diving holiday.
The diving holidays also offer diving courses which last for 2 to 5 days. There are some diving centers which offer PADI diving courses. These include practice dives under the direct supervision of experts. As a result, the divers range from the elderly to the young and from experienced to beginners. The diving schools also offer up to date local information and daily excursions. Some centers also offer refresher courses and some teach advanced techniques to those who want to enjoy the more challenging diving sites.
There are liveaboards which not only provide excellent accommodation facilities but you can have more fun underwater thanks to them. These liveaboards have double or twin cabins, air conditioned rooms with bathrooms inside. There are seating arrangements on the deck and indoor too. They also have a bar which offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The crew members are experienced and guide divers to the best diving sites in the Red Sea.
It is most unlikely that you will get bored of diving, but if you do then there are other activities for the adventurous spirit in you. You can enjoy windsurfing, kite surfing and waterskiing. There is horse and camel riding, desert safaris, trekking and excursions to the ancient ruins of Egypt. You can also relax on the white beaches of the Red Sea and enjoy the beauty of the palm trees swaying gently in the light breeze and drink in the beauty of the sparkling turquoise water of the sea.
