The Destination
Red Sea: Home to World’s Top Dive Sites
The Red Sea hosts about 1,200 marine species and around 200 different species of corals, at least 10 percent of which are endemic. It is the northernmost tropical sea in the world, and connects with the Mediterranean Sea in the north and the Indian Ocean in the south.
The Red Sea reaches a maximum depth of 2,200 metres and features established patterns of oceanic currents that circulate fresh nutrients.
The result of it is that coral reefs are very well developed and support an incredible density of marine life. Our dive route features deep walls full of life and stunning wrecks that make the region a true world class diving destination.
