Looking for the ultimate underwater adventure? The Red Sea is hypnotic! Marine life explodes in color and schools of fish thrive in unequaled numbers. Dive among swirling snapper and funnel clouds of batfish in the world’s most exotic underwater realm.
On more than 30 dives, plunge down the Straits of Tiran, Stingray Station, Anemone City, the 415-foot WWII wreck Thistlegorm, Shark Observatory, Jack Fish Alley and Ras Ghozlani. Don’t be surprised if a sea turtle comes in for a closer look or a manta ray glides majestically overhead. The small groups and student-to-instructor ratio of 4:1 allow everyone to complete their PADI Advanced and several Specialty Dive Certifications regardless of experience level. For those more experienced, earn your Rescue Certification.
Egypt presents a striking contrast between land and sea. Jagged mountains and the windswept desert extend as far as the eye can see. The land is almost without vegetation, but beneath the surface of the Red Sea is a thriving underwater jungle of vibrant colors with fish and soft corals in mind-boggling proportions.
Why is the diving so spectacular? Deep nutrient waters nourish an astounding variety and density of marine life. Dramatic vertical reef walls drop from just inches below the surface to 1000 feet or more, only 25 meters from shore. The desert sun and lack of rainfall create warm, crystal clear water with unlimited visibility, helping produce an optimal environment for coral reef growth and an outrageous landscape of underwater colors.
The vast desert holds a beauty all its own. From the peak of Mount Sinai to the giant sand dunes, explore the ancient treasures of this barren land, stage to man’s oldest written history. Head out in 4x4’s through desert sands, stopping at St. Catherine’s Monastery at the foot of Mount Moses. Climb to the top of Mount Sinai for a dazzling sunrise and trek through mysterious colored canyons. Trading jeeps for camels, journey along the coast and into a mountain passage to sample a traditional Bedouin meal and sleep beneath a brilliant star-filled sky.
This trip is a rare and unforgettable experience. You will always remember that particular blue of the sea, the creatures discovered and tales of those just missed, the way the setting sun stains the jagged Sinai Mountains, then reflects on the water, turning the sea...red.
