The Red Sea is easily accessible to experienced divers and beginners, with calm, clear, warm water (21 to 30°C), well-preserved coral reefs and many fish. It boasts some exceptional diving sites such as the Tiran islands, the underwater walls at Ras Mohammed and Samadai, Elphinstone, the Dahab canyons, Safaga, Mersa Alam…
