Red Sea Diving Corals The Red Sea is considered to be one of the 7 Wonders of the underwater world, harboring more than 1,000 species of invertebrates and over 200 species of soft and hard coral. This forms the basis of a marine eco-system which includes 1,100 species of fish, of which just under 20% are endemic to the Red Sea, i.e. these fish species can only be found here. The high level of endemism here is one of the main factors that makes Egypt scuba diving so interesting.
The Red Sea dive sites offer you unobstructed opportunities to spot tropical marine life in crystal clear waters, ranging from sharks and dolphins to gorgonian fans and feather-stars. Variety is in no short supply either and depending on where you choose to dive. Your diving holiday can include shallow patch reefs, drift dives, and walls, or a collection of some of the most interesting wrecks you are likely to find anywhere. In other places, vibrant reefs stretch out far into the sea and form intricate labyrinths of plateaus, lagoons, caves, and gardens.
Heaven Saphir’s scuba trips cover most of the Egyptian Red Sea from Dahab in the North to Halaib in the South with way over a hundred dive sites in between. Obviously, you cannot visit all of the Red Sea dive sites within 1 week, so you may choose from more than a dozen custom-made itineraries, that proved to be exciting and successful through the years of their operations.
