Quality Liveaboard Diving in Egypt's Red Sea

Destination

The Red Sea has long been a diver's favorite. Access to the lesser-dived area's can only be reached by liveaboard. With its wreck's, reefs, stunning marine life and great year round climate Egypt is a dream diving destination. There are many routes available for Egypt Red Sea liveaboards and consideration needs to be given to the type of diving you wish to do. Many of the wrecks are located in the northern part of Egypt such as the legendary Thistlegorm wreck and the famous 4 located at the Abu Nahas reef. There are many Marine parks doted along Egypt's Red Sea, the oldest and most well known being Ras Mohamed, offering protection to their inhabitants.

Generally speaking the further south you head the less crowded the dive sites become and the bigger the marine life you can find. Some liveaboard itineraries offer the more straightforward classical routes whilst others mix together a blend of reefs and wrecks. Please check the boat itinerary for the route details. If you cannot see the itinerary you would like please contact Agent Liveaboard we will be happy to help. Whichever route you choose Egypt has some fantastic luxury liveaboards offering quality diving holidays.
