When
to go: |
Any time of year, although if
you are after really warm water it is best to visit the Red Sea between June
and September. Air temperatures reach 40°C (104°F) in August and fall to
20°C (68°F) in the winter, which may also dictate when you travel |
|
How to
get there: |
Entry visas are required when
visiting Egypt. These can be purchased at the airport itself at a cost of
about $25 USD / £15 GBP.
Sharm El Sheikh from the UK - Direct
five hour flights from Gatwick and Manchester on Sundays.
Dahab is about
100km from Sharm. |
Diving in Dahab is mainly
shore based with easily accessible reefs right on the shoreline. This means
there’s no mad rush to the crowded jetty at the crack of dawn; the journey from
the dive centre to dive site is made in the back of one of our 4-wheel-drive
jeeps. We will always leave on time hopefully :0)
, and we will ensure you are treated as guests, and not as a tour group. We
don’t carry annoying rattles to make sure you are all in line under water, and
you can choose the dive sites.
