Don't pass on the Red Sea

Forget everything negative you hear about Egypt..these are misconceptions pushed forth by the western media. If you buy into this and love diving you are missing some oif the best the world has to offer, if not the best.

I just got back from 6 days of diving in Ras Mohammed, Dahab and Tiran...incredible diving. Here are a few pics...I'm not an experienced photographer but you can get an idea of the biodiversity and the richness of the reef.

I am from england and the red sea is our most accesible dive location.

All I can say is go there no pollution diverse wildlife.
A liveaboard to the brothers islands, dadelus reef and elphinstone is a reall treat. Sharm and dahab are good
But the bet is the deep south the fury shoals as good as ANYWHARE in the world and I dived sipadan and ningaloo reef in australia and am going to paluwan.
