Only 5 and a half hours away from the UK lies the fascinating and culturally rich premier tourist destination of Egypt, surrounded by the crystal clear and warm waters of one of the worlds premier diving destinations, the Red Sea.
The Red Sea is a haven for scuba diving – warm, clear waters, populated by the brightest of corals and a plethora of fascinating marine life – all go together to make it one of the most popular underwater regions on the planet.
Our clients can now experience tailor made scuba diving holidays in this fantastic environment. Whether you are an experienced and qualified diver, or you are looking to learn from scratch; from the age of 8 and over, you can join the PADI world – the Professional Association of Diving Instructors.
Scuba is a sport enjoyed by hundreds of thousand of people across the globe – it is estimated that over 2 million people take an Egypt holiday to experience the amazing Red Sea waters each year – and it is one of those sports where safety is paramount, and even more important than the cost!
The local government in Egypt has worked hard over the last 12 months to make sure that safety is of the highest standards in all dive-centre operations, and have adopted European Standards and ISO certification as their benchmark. Last year alone, over 25 dive schools have been closed down for failing to meet these stringent safety levels, and this can only be excellent news for the diving industry, and for you, our Customer.
In keeping with our attitude towards providing exceptional quality, The Scuba Place have partnered with highly reputable organizations in Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, El Gouna and Taba that meet all of the necessary standards.
In Sharm El Sheikh, the name that is synonymous with excellence is Red Sea Diving College. Its sister organization, Red Sea Waterworld, is based at The Hyatt Regency and Ritz Carlton Hotels in Sharm, as well as being the principal dive centre in Taba further to the North.
In El Gouna, the very best dive centre has to be Emperor Dive Tribe, located at the stunning Moevenpick Resort and Spa hotel, and completing the premier league is Aquarius, the award winning water-sports business in Hurghada, located on the beachfront of the excellent Marriott hotel.
Finally, we have also selected what we consider to be the best fleet of Red Sea live-aboard safari vessels, accommodating up to 20 passengers in pure luxury, and diving the very best Red Sea sites – from Northern wrecks and reef itineraries, to The Brothers, Rocky, St Johns, Zabargad, Daedelus, Elphinstone and Deep South tours, the Red Sea has it all – and we have the best of it for you!
The Red Sea's best kept secret! El Gouna � a quiet and small private resort right on the coast just a 25 minute drive from Hurghada International Airport. Easy to get to, and a real pleasure to arrive at!
Situated on the Western coast of the Red Sea, and one hour flight from Cairo and Sharm, and 5 hours from the UK, lies the bustling resort of Hurghada. Once only a small fishing village, Hurghada was the first commercial diving destination in the Red Sea.
If you are looking for miles of pristine coral reefs, marine encounters and uncrowded dive sites, a scuba diving holiday in Marsa Alam is the choice. Breathtaking scenery awaits you, specially underwater. Enjoy the beauty of the Red Sea at your own pace.
Sharm sits at the southern end of the Sinai peninsula, and it is a modern, bustling resort built totally on the back of the diving industry. A perfect location for divers of all levels of experience Sharm el Sheikh will provide you a lasting experience.
Egypt's Red Sea has world-class diving, impressive coral reefs and diverse marine life. If looking for a less commercial dive resort, it would be worth booking a scuba diving holiday in Taba, where you can dive into the beauty of both Egypt and Israel.
Based at The Marriott Beach Resort, a superb hotel in itself, Aquarius Marriott Beach is on the waterfront and at the end of its own jetty from where you will depart for your daily boat diving trips.
Operated directly by the hotel is Divers International, a PADI 5* Instructor Development Centre (IDC). Situated right on the hotels beach, there isn�t a better place to be if you want to learn to dive, or just dive.
Emperor Diving (formally known as The Dive Tribe until early 2010) are situated on the beachfront at the Moevenpick Hotel in El Gouna. Emperor is one of the market leaders in the provision of diving services and instruction in Egypt.
The Red Sea College, also operating the Red Sea Waterworld Dive Centres at the Hyatt Regency and Ritz Carlton hotels in Sharm, together with the Red Sea Waterworld in Taba Heights, are probably the best known name in Egypt in the diving business.
At the Hyatt Regency, the Red Sea Waterworld dive centre is on the beach, and you have the choice of shore diving from the jetty or beach on one of Sharms' most popular local reefs, Middle Garden, or take the day boats to visit the offshore attractions.
The comfortable and family-friendly Albatros Palace Resort in Hurghada welcomes travellers of all ages and discerning taste with a collection of impeccable guest rooms and suites and a charming service. Here a fun holiday guaranteed for everyone.
