Join Ocean Devotion Diving on a journey to the deep South of the Egyptian Red Sea. Sailing from Port Ghalib this tour is slightly more challenging, offering big drop-offs overgrown with huge gorgonians and colourful soft corals. On this safari divers will have the opportunity to explore a variety of truly unique dive sites home to some very interesting and unusual reef formations. This itinerary is perfect for divers wanting to experience a slightly more 'untouched' Red Sea and is not to be missed.
The average air temperatures in July are 35c but being at sea it will feel a little cooler than that. Water temperatures are around 26c.
