Why You Should Go Scuba Diving in Egypt this Fall

Did you know October & November are great months to visit Egypt before the busy peak tourist season begins in December? The air and water temperatures are both comfortable, making it easy to combine scuba diving with land-based excursions without the excessive heat of summer (or the cold mid-winter evenings). 

It is also more affordable and quieter than peak season, with seasonal marine life highlights such as thresher and oceanic whitetip sharks in the southern Red Sea.

Wall Diving Essentials

What is Wall Diving?

Wall diving involves diving alongside the edges of coral reefs, or reef walls, and other vertical underwater terrains. Reef walls can vary in size from just a few meters on part of a reef to walls that drop dramatically down for hundreds of meters and more.

Why Go Wall Diving?

Wall diving is exhilarating and there is nothing quite like hovering at the edge of a wall and watching the vast inky depths of the ocean below. It offers the opportunity to enjoy striking and unique terrains, colourful coral formations, plentiful reef fish and larger pelagic species.Find out more in my latest article, Wall Diving Essentials

Best Of Marsa Alam, Red Sea

Being English and having learnt to dive in a very cold quarry, the Red Sea has always been one of my top destinations for a dive holiday that includes sunshine and warmth! It is accessible, affordable and frankly stunning. Yet when I lived in South Africa and met tourists from around the world, I realised just how many people are unaware of the Red Sea and all it has to offer.After writing this article about Marsa Alam for The Scuba News this week, all I want to do is hop on a plane and explore these epic dive sites.
