Dive Sites
Most of the diving in the Red Sea area is
done with a shore-based, day boat dive operation or a liveaboard dive boat. The currents
in these areas vary from no current to very strong, so it is strongly advised to dive or
snorkel with guides or with experienced divers who have dove in the area before and are
familiar with the conditions.
In the following pages, you will find descriptions as to the expertise required for the
various dive sites. The following definitions of the diving skill levels should help you
evaluate the required skill for each dive site.
- snorkeler - a person who is a good swimmer and is skilled in ocean
snorkeling.
- novice diver - a person who is in good physical condition and recently
completed a basic certification diving course, or someone who has been certified before
but has not been diving in a while or has no experience in similar conditions.
- advanced diver - a person who has logged many dives under similar or
rougher conditions and is in good physical condition.
- dive master or instructor - a person who has advanced training as a
dive master or an instructor who has logged over 100 dives in similar conditions and is in
excellent physical condition.
