Few could dare argue the fact that Ras Mohamed is the best place to dive in the world ! Fortunately for us Egyptians, the second bests are quite close by as well ! Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Dahab, Nuweiba, and Sharm-El-Sheikh are all less than a couple of hours away at the most. Even Aqaba in Jordan and Eilat in Israel are also very accessible from Ras Mohamed.

Why do we believe Ras Mohamed to be the world's greatest spot to dive? Is it because its nutrient rich waters attract hundreds of thousands of living species to its immensely diverse coral reef ? Or because its luxuriant sea walls and terraces provide some of the most awesome sights anyone can lay eyes on? Or is it the few historical wrecks in the vicinity which are very well preserved and accessible? The truth is words can never do justice to this breathtaking spot.

We are just very lucky to have a place like this. The whole of the Northern Red Sea Region is a miracle of life! As if this was not enough, this is probably the cheapest place to dive in the whole world. It is definitely the cheapest to get a diving license, whether PADI or CMAS

So after checking out places as diverse as Gasmic off Port Elizabeth in South Africa, Parmelia off the Northern Coast of Australia, the Maldives, Pemba, and Mafia, there is no shame in some boasting about the fact that Ras Mohamed tops 'em all!

If you continue now to see these dive sites, you will know why!
