]]>A dive into the Red Sea reveals a mesmerizing world of coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, playful dolphins, and even the occasional, elusive sea turtle. The region’s biodiversity is simply astonishing—from the tiny, neon-colored nudibranchs to the majestic manta rays, there’s a spectacle at every depth.
One of the Red Sea’s highlights is the Thistlegorm wreck, a World War II British vessel lying at 30 meters deep. It’s an underwater museum, showcasing vintage motorcycles, trucks, and wartime artifacts. Nearby, the Ras Mohammed National Park offers some of the most pristine reefs, such as Shark and Yolanda Reefs, known for their spectacular wall dives and shark sightings.
For beginners, Dahab’s Blue Hole and the gentle slopes of Marsa Alam provide perfect settings to get acquainted with the underwater world. Meanwhile, more experienced divers can explore the challenging currents of Elphinstone Reef, a hotspot for spotting hammerhead sharks.

These islands, which are part of Egypt’s nationally preserved marine park, are harder to access and much more isolated. Silvertips and grey reef sharks are frequently spotted here, and sometimes divers catch a glimpse of the rare hammerhead shark.
