Scuba Diving

Egypt is generally considered to be one of the best dive locations in the world. It boasts many great dive sites but the cream of the crop has to be the SS Thistlegorm wreck site located in the Sharm El Sheik area. The ship was sunk in World War two by German bomber planes and has lain on the sea bed for over sixty years, there are motorbikes, aircraft, jeeps and the main ship itself over which to explore and marvel at the huge array of marine life that calls this place home.
More experienced divers, not necessarily but hopefully with their own equipment should head south to Quseir, Tiran, Ras Banas or St.John’s Reef. Some of these sites are accessible only via 4x4 vehicles or LiveAboard boats all of which can be arranged from Harghada, Marsa Alam, Sharm El Sheik, Darhab or prior to you departure. It should also be noted that for people wishing to obtain their PADI qualification Egypt is one of the best and cheapest places to do so. Once out in the water you will be spoilt for choice as to where to look first, the diversity of Egypt’s underwater ecology is mind blowing!
