Best Diving in Marsa Alam

Marsa Alam is one of the world's great places to dive and to learn — warm water year-round, CDWS-licensed centres, and sites running from sheltered training bays to walls and wrecks with real reputations.

Local truth: certification requirements here are enforced at booking (not at the boat), valet setups are standard, and autumn brings the visibility everyone photographs.
