This northern tip of the Red Sea is one of the best world’s diving regions, home of 250 coral types and 1,200 species of fish. The beautiful beaches and the crystal-clear water are perfect for swimming, water sports, and especially diving. Several diving clubs offer different diving sessions, including for people with no experience at all.

A variation of the Introductory scuba diving experience is called SNUBA diving.
