Red Sea diving

Red Sea diving was recently voted as one of the most desired places to get lost in the world by readers of the Dive magazine. Red Sea diving offers such a magnitude of marine life below the surface that this doesn’t shock me in the slightest. Out of the 1100 species of fish catalogued around the world around about 10% are located in the Red Sea alone!

Who can fault them since Red Sea diving has so much to offer below the surface! Its waters are warm whilst showcasing more marine life than Disney’s Finding Nemo! The water is crystal clear ensuring each of the tropical corals and ancient shipwrecks and ruins are accessible all year. The visibility is spectacular - up to eight feet in each direction - with every detail an unforgettable sight.

The wildlife circles as you travel by walls of coral that can go up to 300 feet deep or more, with fish-butterfly, cardenais-parrot fish amongst a backdrop similar to that of the end of the rainbow. Barracuda and small reef sharks and hammers also are seen frequently. It is not for nothing that Red Sea diving was Jacques Cousteau´s favourite destination!
The variety of marine life is incredible when sampling Red Sea diving, and each of the hundreds of dive sites offer a unique experience. It is not difficult to understand because many divers choose to fly to your favourite of the Red Sea Resort and board a boat for diving, to live the apex of the year. For the very best of Red Sea diving, Sharm el Sheikh is tipped as the world's best diving resort by many experts.

Comparison website Cheapflights.co.uk says that the Egyptian holiday hot spot is popular with divers for its "exquisite variety of coral" and the chance to see a wide range of other marine life. Other flight websites such as skyscanner.co.uk and travelsupermarket.co.uk can seek the cheapest flights from your local airport searching each of the airlines booking systems to achieve the lowest price possible.
