Diving & Snorkeling Red Sea

Astonishing biodiversity marks the Red Sea — a diving oasis in the middle of Earth’s largest sandbox. This natural aquarium is home to one of the world’s most varied concentrations of marine life, from tiny gobies to 20-ton whale sharks. Sites range from world-class reefs, wrecks and blue-water walls to remote shore dives reached only by camel. Topside attractions include art, culture and architecture of biblical proportions. This guide describes more than 100 sites in the eight countries that border the Red Sea and includes tourist tips, a marine life guide and dive operator listings.
