A bit cold for me (I'm a Caribbean diver - so my being cold is not a spectacular remark). Some divers bring dry-suits, I settle for a 7 mm wetsuit. I like the Red Sea - there's always something to see on each dive.

Well, a bit disappointing compared to other well known dive spots (Raja Ampat, Alor, Cuba, etc. ). Coral is healthy but fish life is lacking. Best time for sharks is mid September to early December.

I was somewhat disappointed. I had seen pictures of beautiful colorful reefs and on our trip we saw very little of this. I was told the reefs are more to the south. Watch which direction your trip goes. I wished I had den some more research on this and made a better decision for such a long and expensive trip.

Average overall, reefs are not that good, so if there's no big fish, or a wreck, it could be a boring dive. If you've done any diving in Maldives or Asia, you won't be too impressed with reefs here.

3/10. Coral good but lacking color. Plenty of small fish but nothing larger. Extremely crowded dive sights; best quote was "100 divers for every shark seen". Many time the bubbles from so many other divers prevented seeing the sharks. At one dive sight I saw ~50 divers descend from the surface right in front of me. You have to memorize your boat name because there could be 40 zodiacs at the dive sight when you surface.
