While the diving in Egypt is suited to every level (making it ideal if you have an advanced buddy), the conditions couldn’t be more perfect for learning to dive.
Boasting technicolour corals and colourful fish careering around like confetti, learning to dive in the Red Sea in Egypt is like breaking open a Piñata. Add to that calm waters and visibility often extending 30 metres year-round and budding divers will find it difficult to leave the water.
While the Red Sea is often associated with liveaboards, there are a wealth of fabulous shore diving spots ideal for learning to dive. Stay in The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh in the southern Red Sea and learn to dive straight from the jetty on its house reef, which boasts colourful corals right into the sunlit shallows. And with six dive sites to explore, as well as sites a short boat ride away, budding divers will be spoilt for choice on their induction to the watery world while learning to dive in Egypt.
