Egypt's underwater world of
coral reefs and marine life offers an unparalleled scuba diving and
snorkeling experience. The Red Sea cities of Hurghada and Sharm El
Sheikh are home to some of the world's rarest and most brilliant
varieties of corals and fish. No dive would be complete without
exploring the depth of the Blue Hole in Dahab, or visiting Ras
Mohammed on the tip of the Sinai Peninsula. Ras Mohammed -
designated as a national park- is renowned for being one of the
world's best diving spots featuring the most exquisite coral reefs
and exotic marine life. For a taste of history, diving expeditions are organized off the shores of Alexandria, where the ruins of Cleopatra's Temple can be found and viewed at the bottom of the sea. There is a wide range of hotels and camping grounds which serve the best dive sites and centers. Diving courses are available and are relatively inexpensive. The shore dives offer a safe learning ground for open water diving. The golden rules: Marine life and coral reefs in particular, are highly fragile and easily damaged. In order to protect the sanctity of the diving areas it is critical that divers respect the diving rules set forth by the Egyptian authorities. Any destruction of the coral reefs by removing or polluting the waters or removal of rare fish from the waters is prohibited. Feeding any marine life is strictly forbidden and violations are subject to fines.
