Central and South Red Sea
Dive sites in this region require an experienced diver skill level with an Advanced Open Water Certification (or equivalent). While a Deep Dive specialty (or equivalent) is not mandatory, it is useful to reach depths over 130 feet (40m). The suggested logged dives before arriving is a minimum of 50 with 100 or more preferred. Instruction and certifications may be available on board. For dive instruction details, click here.
Elphinestone Reef
From October to December, oceanic whitetip shark sightings are extremely common. Here, the corals are as pristine and colorful as any diver could imagine.
The Brothers Islands
These two islands are well-known for their magnificient hard and soft corals and shark sightings. The exposed location results in some strong currents and surface conditions. Thresher sharks are periodically spotted at Big Brother, making it one of the rare places divers can encounter the elusive animals. Grey reef sharks are also common, along with oceanic whitetips and sometimes whale sharks.
Daedalus Reef
With year-round viewings of hammerheads, Daedalus is a unique locale. While schooling hammerheads often appear from May to August, divers may also encounter oceanic whitetips, grey reef and thresher sharks. Tunas, trevallies and manta rays are seen here, too. Steep walls, covered with hard and soft corals, are stunningly beautiful and healthy.
Deep South Red Sea
At the very southern border of Egypt, near Sudan, the St. John’s area is an absolutely amazing dive site out of reach for day trippers. Limited by access and distance, it is a less populus destination and one only liveaboard divers can enjoy. Explore pristine reefs, home to nonresident pelagics. Many divers consider this region to offer the very best diving in Egypt.
St. John's
St. John’s plateau offers stellar diving in the southernmost Egyptian region of the Red Sea. Discover a number of dive sites, each with their own distinct attractions. From caverns and swim-thrus to tunnels to walls to extremely healthy soft corals and sea whips, St. John’s provides the much-sought variety many divers search for when booking a dive vacation.
Zabargad
Frequent pelagic sightings have earned this southern Egypt dive region a highlly favorable reputation. What pushes Zabargad over the top is the mysterious Russian shipwreck, graceful sea turtles and diverse bird species. The unique topography of pinnacles and sloping walls, decorated with colorful soft corals, surrounds this beautiful island.
Rocky Island
Of all the Egyptian dives in the deep southern Red Sea, Rocky Island is the most difficult. The island’s many sites range from a minor level of protection from the wind to none at all. The currents can be swift resulting in it being a pelagic hotspot. Whale sharks, manta rays and leopard sharks are known to quickly swim into focus in the turquoise blue waters. Divers will want to keep a watchful eye for new arrivals. Take time to soak in the wall itself; it is covered in reef creatures and fantastic soft corals.
Northern Red Sea
To the delight of any wreck diving aficionado, the northern Red Sea is scattered with excellent wrecks at depths suitable for recreational divers. All Star Red Sea divers must be Advanced Open Water (AOW) (or equivalent) and/or Deep Diver Speciality (or equivalent) certified to fully enjoy the dive trips.
The wrecks range in age from the 19th century to the 1980s and each carried a unique cargo. Due to the variety of sites in the region as well as safe depths, northern Egypt is an exceptional wreck diving destination.

Useful information
Egypt
Best time for diving
March to May & September to October, however, Egypt can be good for scuba diving any time of the year. The whale shark season occurs from the end of May until the end of July in the northern Red Sea. The plankton blooms bring manta rays in to feed from May to August. From May to July, there is a higher chance to spot schooling of hammerheads in Daedalus, then the hammerheads move to Jackson Reef from July to September. And the turtle nesting season also happens from late May to early July. The Thresher Shark can be best spotted in winter. Grey reef sharks, dolphins, and dugongs can be spotted year-round.
About temperatures
Air : winter months are between 18°C - 25°C, summer months are between 32°C - 40°C.
Sea : winter months are between 20°C - 24°C, summer months are between 27°C - 30°C.
Wetsuit Recommendation
In the winter months, a 5 - 7 mm full wetsuit is recommended. In summer months a rash vest or 3 mm shorty wetsuit is recommended.
Diver requirement
Suitable for all levels depending on which route you are heading to. We do recommend a minimum of 30 logged dives with AOW or equivalent level to enjoy the dives in Egypt.
You can find out more information about diving in Egypt here : Egypt.
Embarkation / Disembarkation
Depending on which route you are heading to, the embarkation and disembarkation can be from Hurghada (HRG), Marsa Alam (RMF), or Sharm El Sheikh (SSH).
Visa Requirements
Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at Egypt’s international airports. If you opt for a visa on arrival, you’ll need a passport that’s valid for at least six months from your arrival date, a travel itinerary, and documentation to prove accommodation or any booked tours.
Vaccinations
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if traveling from a country with a risk of YF virus transmission and ≥9 months of age, including transit >12 hours in an airport located in a country with a risk of YF virus transmission. This includes Eritrea, Rwanda, Somalia, Tanzania, and Zambia.1 In the absence of a vaccination certificate, the person will be detained in quarantine for up to 6 days after departure from an area at risk of YF virus transmission. An overview of the countries to which this applies can be downloaded here: Yellow Fever Risk Countries.
Money Matters
The local currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP), and ATMs are common, especially in the main tourist areas. Major hotels will usually accept payment by credit card. However, smaller hotels may expect cash and hard currency payments (USD/EUR).
Drones
To bring a drone to Egypt and fly it, you need to receive permission from the country’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). If you do not have documentation of authorization, your drone will be confiscated at customs. However, getting permission to fly a drone from the CAA is difficult. Should you somehow manage to get your drone in, the onboarding screening will detect your drone and one of two things will happen: 1. your drone will be confiscated at the point of arrival and stored at the airport. 2. the drone will be detected and confiscated when you are leaving the country and you’ll be sanctioned for bringing an illegal commodity to Egypt. - So don't risk it, and leave your drone at home if you’re planning to travel to Egypt.
Extending your holiday
We offer a range of hotels/resorts, land-based diving packages, and excursions that can be arranged before or after your liveaboard holiday. Just ask us if you need such a service.
