The Red Sea offers dive sites and seascape which are unquestionably one of the best and most beautiful in the world, and is famous for its rich red sea life. Turtles roam the sea and manta rays hover over their cleaning stations, and devil rays cruise by and over the reef.
Away from the reef, there are schools of barracudas as well as grey reef sharks, hammerhead sharks, nurse sharks and leopard sharks which all patrol the sea. If its sharks you want to see, then the southern part of the red sea is where these are mostly found. Although they can be seen in the northern red sea mainly in the summer months.
Most of the diving in the red sea area is done with a shore-based, daily boat dives or a liveaboard dive boats. |
