Scuba diving in the Red Sea has a fascinating history that dates back to the 1950s. It all began when Greek and Italian workers, living in Egypt, took to spear fishing. The area soon caught the attention of notable explorers like Austrian zoologist Dr. Hans Hass, a celebrated underwater filmmaker, and the legendary French diver Jacques Cousteau. These pioneers were drawn to the Red Sea's stunning coral reefs, which serve as a haven for thousands of marine species. Fast forward to today, and diving here has evolved tremendously. You'll now find top-notch facilities, liveaboard diving experiences, a variety of programs, and instructors with international certifications.
The Red Sea resorts such as Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, Marsa Alam, El Gouna, and Taba are prime spots offering diving holiday packages and excellent amenities throughout the year. Thanks to the region's mild temperatures, diving is a year-round adventure. Whether you're a first-timer, a beginner, or a seasoned diver, there's a program tailored just for you, and I bet you'll find yourself wanting to return again and again.
Each of these destinations brings its unique charm. For instance, Sharm El-Sheikh is not just a diving hub but also a lively spot for nightlife and local culture. Meanwhile, Marsa Alam is known for its serene beauty and the chance to spot dolphins and dugongs. The Red Sea isn’t just a place to dive; it’s an experience that captures the heart and soul of any adventurer.
