Red Sea
The Red Sea is a vast area covering many
countries and full of fantastic tropical reef and wreck diving. It
is the easiest and most economical destination from the UK
for this type of diving. Different areas cater
for different experience levels from the very beginner to the most
experienced diver the Red Sea constantly surprises us by showing us
new and exciting dive sites and creatures. The weather is pretty
reliable all year round. Winter temps are still around 20C both in
and out of the water and the summer sun can get up to a scorching
40C+. We prefer to visit in the Spring and late Autumn when the
water is warm but the air not too hot to don a wetsuit!
