Planning a diving holiday in Sharm el-Sheikh
The dive centers' day boats depart from Naama Bay or Travco Marina and sail to the reefs in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Strait of Tiran. Ras Mohammed at the southern tip of Sinai has been a national park since 1983. For dive days there, the dive centers charge a park fee per person per day. The Thistlegorm, a British freighter sunk by German bombers on October 6, 1941, lies at the entrance to the Gulf of Suez and is offered as a separate day trip from Sharm. At the airport, you can get a visa for all of Egypt or the Sinai visa, which is only valid for Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba, and Taba.
With this booklet, you can plan your week. The dive center's weekly schedule shows how boat trips and house reef dives are spread across the days, with a plan B if the boat cannot sail due to the weather. The last day before your return flight is kept dive-free. The section on the best time to visit lists water and air temperatures, wind, visibility, crowds, and special features, so you can set your dates before booking your flight and accommodation.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print as a booklet at home.
