This remarkable body of water stands out not just for its natural beauty but also for its unique characteristics. It boasts some of the hottest and saltiest sea water on the planet. The Red Sea’s significance extends beyond its allure to divers—it’s a vital waterway, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Suez Canal and facilitating the bustling maritime traffic between Europe and Asia. The name “Red Sea” itself derives from the intriguing color changes observed in its waters. While normally an intense blue-green, occasional blooms of Trichodesmium erythraeum algae can transform the sea into a striking reddish-brown hue.
Diving enthusiasts can explore this captivating underwater realm in two distinct regions: North and South.
Northern Red Sea
The northern part of the Egyptian Red Sea is a diver’s paradise, offering unforgettable dive cruises at world-renowned dive sites like the Straits of Tiran and Ras Mohammed National Park. For those who find fascination in exploring underwater wrecks, the SS Thistlegorm and Dunraven wrecks are must-visit destinations. Embarking on a dive liveaboard from Sharm El Sheikh, Safaga, or Hurghada is an excellent way to fully immerse yourself in the diverse range of dive sites this region has to offer.
Southern Red Sea
For those seeking unique dive experiences away from the crowds, the southern Red Sea offers fantastic opportunities on liveaboard dive trips. Dive sites that are only accessible via overnight dive safaris await exploration. From well-known sites such as Daedalus Reef, The Brothers, St. Johns, Elphinstone, to Fury Shoals, there’s something to delight every diver’s heart. Most liveaboard itineraries in this southern region will depart from Port Ghalib (Marsa Alam), Hamata, or Hurghada.
Whether you’re an experienced diver or a novice looking to discover the wonders of the Red Sea, both the northern and southern regions have something exceptional to offer. Dive into the enchanting world beneath the waves and let the Red Sea reveal its breathtaking secrets.
