Tour itinerary

1 Start the Diving Adventure

After a check dive to kick off the week, go north for an afternoon and night dive.

2 Northern Red Sea Expedition

For four days, undertake a journey through the upper region of the Red Sea as part of Egypt diving tours. Typically, you will be able to accomplish three-day dives and a night dive every single day. It is understood that the exact timings and order of the different sites will depend on the prevailing conditions, but expect quite a few wrecks.

3 Scuba Diving in Thistlegorm and Dunraven

Scuba diving in these two wrecks, the Thistlegorm and Dunraven, however, never seems to leave the present but transports one transcending the breathtaking Red Sea marine life to the past, which is a staple for every diving safari in the Red Sea. The wreck of the Thistlegorm ship, which was built during the Second World War, rests at about thirty meters deep in the sea and is laden with numerous treasures and items packed inside the ship such as motorcycles and tools of war now encrusted with different species of corals and fish. It is incredible to be inside the ship and then, later on, watch as the ship is completely covered in corals. The wreck of the Dunraven, an ancient steamship, lies about 20 meters underwater and affords stunning views of the exquisite construction adorned with corals and fish like snapper and barracuda. Apart from the thrill of diving with such shipwrecks, such shipwrecks offer an additional aspect of enjoyment, which is the diversity of sea life inhabiting the wrecks and the surrounding areas.

4 Scuba Diving in Giannis D and Carnatic

Undoubtedly, the experience of diving above the wrecks of Giannis D and Carnatic is for only the courageous divers who can manage to get themselves beneath the picturesque Red Sea. The wreck of the Giannis D, a cargo ship that sank in 1983, is over thirty meters underwater and is famous due to its structure and the marine life present. One can go inside through its holds and view different kinds of corals and fish including clownfish and large groupers. Also, deep inside the water, around twenty meters deep is another ship known as the Carnatic. This was a steamship that also sank and was last in service up until the late nineteenth century thus is a famous dive site for both novice and experienced divers alike. The wreck can be found within a variety of marine life that looks even more beautiful to the divers, with fish and corals making the place vivid. Both sites are the focal points of a Red Sea diving safari and depict the abundant marine life found in the Red Sea making scuba diving tours in the Red Sea very pleasurable with every dive.

5 Scuba Diving in Ras Mohamed Marine Park

The Ras Mohamed Marine Park, Danaba (Shag Rock), Sha'ab El Erg (well-known for dolphin encounters), and the Island of Gobal are other excellent locations for reef diving, making them must-visit sites for those interested in scuba diving in Egypt.

6 Final Departure

Conclude your exploration with two easy morning dives shortly after departing from Hurghada, indulging yourself in the glories of Red Sea diving, this way you will be able to return to the port in the early afternoon. Utilize the available land time on your final evening for some last-minute shopping for souvenirs and famous Egyptian hospitality before returning home the next day.

  • What is the best time for diving safari in Red Sea?

    Diving in the Red Sea can be done at any time of year, but the best conditions are between March and May and September and November. These are the months when water is at a good temperature and marine creatures are abundant.

    • Recreational dives will usually be between 5 meters (16 feet) and 30 meters (100 feet).
    • Technical dives are exceeding 40 meters (131 feet) at the Blue Hole, Dahab

  • Can a beginner swimmer swim in the Red Sea of Egypt?

    Yes, beginner swimmers can absolutely swim in the Red Sea. Often resorts will have marked swimming zones for nice, gentle water. Beginners should however swim in safe zones and use buoyancy aids if necessary. Snorkeling is also nice but for non-swimmers, you have to have a buoyancy aid and an instructor to guide you. When you dive or enter the water, always respect your own comfort level and follow the rules set by local operators.

  • Is diving better in Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada?

    Both Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada offer excellent diving opportunities; Sharm El Sheikh is famous for wall diving, coloured coral reefs and marks like Ras Mohammed. Hurghada often provides a significantly larger and much richer quantity of dive sites with different diving features, as well as closer proximity to other ancient attractions such as Luxor.
