Diving in the Red Sea

Diving in the Red Sea is generally done from Egypt, Jordan or Saudi Arabia.

Diving in Egypt

Diving the Red Sea from Egypt can be done from a number of resorts along the coast from Hurghada in the North to Hamata in the South.  When in Hurghada, we stayed at the Sheraton Soma Bay Resort and had a relaxing time.  While there, you can dive with Emperor Divers.  They do trips daily from Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Marsa Alam and Nuweiba.  The recommended dive sites are Abu Ramada south and Shab Abu Ramada.

Diving in Jordan

If youare in Jordan, Aqaba is the central hub for diving.  Seastar Watersports is the recommended dive operator.  They will most likely take you to Black Rock, Gorgon 1 and Gorgon 2.  If you are looking for a place to stay, we recommend the Alcazar hotel.

Diving in Saudi Arabia

The main jumping off point for divers in Saudi Arabia is the city of Jeddah.  Saudi Arabia has good shore diving at The Mecca (first dive site south of Jeddah), Willi’s Point, Mars Reef and Al Shuaiba.  Boat diving can be done from the Dive Village with Desert Sea Divers.
