Beach Vacation
 

Egypt’s
coral reefs and marine life offer an unparalleled scuba diving and snorkeling experience. The Red Sea cities of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh offer some of the world’s rarest and most brilliant varieties of corals and fish. No dive would be complete without exploring the depth of the Blue Hole in Dahab, or visiting Ras Mohammed on the tip of the Sinai Penninsula. Ras Mohammed - a declared national park- is renowned for being one of the world’s best diving spots featuring the most exquisite coral reefs and exotic marine life.

For a trace of history, diving expeditions are organized off the shores of Alexandria, where the ruins of Cleopatra’s Temple can be found and viewed at the bottom of the sea.

There is an abundance of hotels and camping grounds which serve the best dive sites and centers. Diving courses are available and are relatively inexpensive. The shore dives offer a safe learning ground for open water diving. All the diving centers offer PADI, BSAC or CMAS certifications; which entitle you to dive anywhere in the world.

How to choose a dive center
There are many certified diving centers located throughout the major hotels and resorts. These centers are staffed with highly trained professional instructors which offer courses and trips for scuba diving and snorkeling.

The golden rules
Marine life, and coral reefs in particular, are highly fragile and easily damaged. In order to protect the sanctity of the diving areas it is critical that divers respect the diving rules set forth by the Egyptian authorities. Any destruction of the coral reefs by removing or polluting the waters or removal of rare fish from the waters is prohibited. Feeding any marine life is strictly forbidden and violations are subject to fines.
