One of the best places for scuba diving and snorkeling is in the Red Sea in Egypt. Its underwater life, as well as the water’s color and transparency, are just perfect! I’ve heard about it earlier but now I know from my own experience. With around 1000 species of fish and 150 species of coral, the Red Sea has the richest marine life globally. 

There is also a long list of different scuba diving types you could try in the Red Sea including night diving, dry suit diving, cave diving etc. It was my second time diving and luckily it was in Egypt as you may stay in the water for hours observing the beautiful underwater life including numerous colorful fishes, turtles, manta rays and so on.

We’ve dived in Sharm El Sheikh area. We had great trainers and everything went well. Trainers accompanied us all the diving time and did most of the things for us. For your information, you don’t need to get a certificate if you do Discover Scuba Diving to the maximum depth of 12 meters. If you a beginner, your only task is to figure out how to breathe correctly and just enjoy the process!
