Diving       Red Sea is world renowned as one of the world’s best Centers for diving.  Where, you will find over 800 Different fish species, including the deadly stone-fish, butterfly-fish, surgeon fish, jellyfish such as the Cassiopeia, crabs that sometimes overrun the shore in the evening and some species of shark. Ships have sailed, and sunk, in the Red Sea since it was the main route to the Indies for Phoenician and Ancient Egyptian traders. The Red Sea remained a scene of shipwreck and adventure for smugglers, merchants, pirates and pilgrims. After the opening of the Suez Canal, in 1869, it continued its role as an international trade route and "Passage to India" for European travelers. Most of the diving in the Red Sea area is done with a shore-based, day boat dive operation or a live aboard dive boat. The currents in these areas vary from no current to very strong, so it is strongly advised to dive or snorkel with guides or with experienced divers who have dove in the area before and are familiarized with the conditions. The Most popular Diving sits are in Sharm el Sheikh, Hurghada, Marsa Allam, Dahab, Ras Mohamed and Safaga along with other beautiful diving sits The Bells, Blue Hole, The Caves, Shag Rock, The Small Crack, Beacon Rock.

A cruise at the Red Sea is considered to be one of the utmost dreams for many divers.
