Egypt

Egypten är tveklöst en av världens bästa och mest populära resmål för dykning och snorkling. Hit kan du resa året runt för dykning och snorkling. Liveaboarder är populärt men det är lätt att dyka även från land. Egypten ligger nära oss i Europa och det går relativt snabbt och enkelt att ta sig hit. Det är lätt att förstå varför många dykare håller Egypten och The red sea som en av de bästa dykplatserna för dykresor. Reven erbjuder ett rikt marint liv och med både vrak, delfiner, stora fiskar och sharks. That's why divers keep returning year after year. The Red Sea offers world-class diving in many locations. With only a few hours' travel away for us in Northern Europe, it is a perfect destination for a week's pleasant vacation, relaxation and wonderful diving. Here you can experience shining sun and fascinating tropical diving all year round.

Reven i Röda Havet är hem till en häpnadsväckande mångfald av marina djur och några av de stora fiskar du kan träffa på här är otroliga. Oavsett du dyker eller snorklar kommer du att uppleva massor. Ute vid de yttre reven kan du få se den vackra men ibland lite väl närgångna årfenshajen som lockar till sig många fotografer. Hammarhaj ses regelbundet men även valhaj, rävhaj, revhajar och andra kan ibland visa upp sig. Här i Egypten finns också många fantastiska och välbevarade vrak som till exempel Thistlegorm from the Second World War, a wreck that is on many people's "must-experience" list.


Marine parks

Egypt has many fantastic reefs out in the sea and most of them are today marine parks. You can only get to these outer reefs by going on one of our popular ones liveaboard or diving cruises. It is by far the most popular and best way to experience the amazing diving you can get here in the Red Sea.

Egypt and the Red Sea also offer exciting experiences for those interested in history and culture. Feel free to take advantage of the opportunity to discover the Valley of the Kings in Luxor by combining your diving trip with one or two day trips from Hurghada or why not a guided excursion in the desert.

Egypt is one of our most popular diving travel destinations. The Red Sea never ceases to amaze and many divers return here year after year. With both land-based options and liveaboards there is something here for everyone's taste and budget. Egypt is suitable for divers as well as non-divers or would-be divers.
