<\/span><\/h3>\nCrystal clear water and incredible biodiversity await you here, as everywhere in the Red Sea. The world beneath the waves is colourful and absolutely fascinating – welcome to the aquarium! The sea is teeming with turtles, rays, and colourful fish. A true spectacle of nature!<\/p>\nThe Red Sea’s undersea world is one of the most beautiful on Earth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/h3>\n<\/span>The Wrecks of Abu Nuhas<\/span><\/h3>\nThis diving destination is also known as the ship cemetery because there are several sunken shipwrecks littering the sea floor. Diverse coral formations have formed on them – a unique diving spot!<\/p>\nShipwrecks always make for exciting diving excursions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/h3>\n<\/span>Sharks at Elphinstone Reef<\/span><\/h3>\nElphinstone Reef is located approximately 20 kilometres from Marsa Alam on the open sea. Shark encounters are commonplace here, and Elphinstone Reef is known worldwide for them. The white tip reef shark is particularly happy to meet visitors here. You can marvel at the rich diversity of marine life on the 300-metre-long reef. The diving spot is very demanding and is only suitable for advanced divers, since the underwater current can become very strong.<\/p>\nYou’ll always remember your first encounter with a shark<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/h3>\n<\/span>Shaab el Erg – on the dolphin trail<\/span><\/h3>\nAt the so-called Dolphin House Shaab el Erg you will very likely meet dolphins while diving. The extensive, horseshoe-shaped reef is also great for snorkelling. It’s always memorable to experience the animals in their natural environment.<\/p>\nDolphins up close – what more could you want?\u00a0?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/h3>\n<\/span>Carless Reef – diving in the coral garden<\/span><\/h3>\nThe Carless Reef (or Careless Reef, as it is often incorrectly called) is arguably the most famous diving spot in Egypt. And in my opinion, it has fully deserved this title: many moray eels, as well as tuna or sharks can be seen here. The reef plateau with its colourful coral garden is just stunning. It is a bit further out to sea, but the trip there was absolutely worth it for me!<\/p>\nEye to eye with the moray eel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/h3>\n<\/span>Abu Dabbab at Marsa Alam<\/span><\/h3>\nAbu Dabbab is located approximately 38 kilometres from Marsa Alam.Manatees, the gentle giants – I find them incredibly sweet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/h3>\n<\/span>Makadi Bay – Diving spot on your doorstep!<\/span><\/h3>\nAnd last but not least – Makadi Bay!
<\/span>Snorkelling excursion: off to the Red Sea<\/span><\/h2>\nAnother highlight of my holiday in Egypt was a snorkelling trip, where I visited the uninhabited island of Orange Bay, among other things. I was totally impressed by the almost untouched island and the play of colours between the white sandy beaches and the crystal clear, turquoise water. With a bit of luck you’ll also meet dolphins during the day trip. When I first encountered wild dolphins on my snorkelling trip, I was absolutely fascinated by the beautiful, intelligent marine mammals. They were curious and swam very close to us \u2013 it was an unforgettable experience! At this point, however, I must urge you to respect the sea creatures and not touch them under any circumstances! Of course, sea creatures include not only animals, but also corals. We all want to be able to enjoy the beautiful underwater world for many years to come.<\/p>\nYou can usually borrow the equipment for your excursion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/h2>\n<\/span>Diving spots in Egypt #My conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\nEgypt is a true diving and snorkelling paradise! The consistently beautiful weather, the crystal clear water, and the marine biodiversity convinced me that Egypt is a world-class snorkelling and diving destination. Some of you may be wondering now whether Egypt is suitable for beginning divers – absolutely! The mostly low current and the clear underwater visibility are perfect for first-time divers or beginners. Simply inquire at your TUI BLUE hotel – the professionals there will be happy to help you plan your perfect diving and snorkelling excursions. Advanced divers will definitely get their money’s worth in the Red Sea. Shipwreck dives, steep abysses below the waves, turtles, friendly and harmless sharks, and the bustle of many colourful fish of all sizes.\u00a0 What more could a diver ask for?<\/p>\n
That said, I’m really looking forward to my next diving holiday in Makadi Bay or Marsa Alam!
