Dahab is about an hours drive from Sharm El Sheikh with the infamous 'Blue Hole' which it's a fantastic diving and snorkelling spot. On the mainland of Egypt there is Hurghdada or the local town of El Quesir which are both on the Red Sea and great for diving.

Egypt is blessed with some of the best diving sites in the world. There are many diving sites but the main diving centres are in Sharm el shaikh, Hurgada, Taba and Alexandria.

Scuba diving is the best place for diving in Africa, you can see the teaser of ocean, Scuba diving is really the best way to diving in water. And you can see different type of sea creature like fish and beautiful colored coral. Scuba diving is perfect for island lover.

The best diving sites in Egypt are located in the following cities:

Hurghada
Sharm El Sheikh
Ras Mohamed
Dahab
Safaga
Marsa Alam

Every location is unique. For those who would like to dive non stop I suggest a Live aboard Safari trip. Most dive centers also operate liveaboard boats and other companies specialize in this field. These trips accommodate a range of budgets and are usually full board with unlimited diving on more remote reefs. Mini Safaris are available for 2-3 days, however the standard trips are for 7-14 days. Most of the major liveaboard destinations start from the Tiran Straits and Ras Mohammed, the famous Thistlegorm Wreck, Gobail Straits and Abu Nuhas and South through the Safaga Reefs, Brother Islands, Elphinstone Reef and Marsa Alam.

Hope this helps

Dahab is a great place if you are on a budget. You dive from the shore and there are amazing dive sites like the Blue Hole. The boats are excellent in Egypt so you should also do that: the Thistlegorm site is a must see near to Sharm El Sheik.

There are plenty of diving and snorkeling sites all around Hurghada (EL Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi, Marsa Alam) as well as in Sharm El Sheikh. It is said that one of the best places for diving in Sharm is a place called The Blue Hole and it shall be amazing. I personally was only in Hurghada and did some snorkeling, but would love to try diving as well.

I have been to Egypt on a few occasions for diving and have found that the best place is el Quseir, which is about an hour and 20 mins south of hurghada. Absolutely stunning!
