Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / September 2003Red Sea Advice
Hello, We are looking to go to the Red Sea ... Can someone tell me when the best time to go, as well as the best town to make home base? Hurghada I have been told .. but I really need to know as well the weather times .. Thank you, JMM IMHO autumn is the best time to go - I've been in October and November and the weather has been great. Some people find December is getting a trifle chilly. I've never been in Spring but would happily go in April - the summer is just too darn hot - a dive guide described as like a hairdryer in your face! Enjoy your trip! It's a great part of the world!

Water temp is probably best last in the year (sept-Oct) but its nice & quiet early in the year (I like late Jan/Feb). Water temp varies between c20 degrees in Feb to 26 Degrees+ in Sept. I have dived with New Waves the last three times and been happy with them. try www.divenewwaves.com In Sharm best I have stayed at was Hilton Waterfalls. Raddison SAS and Holiday Inn were OK but a bit far out. MOst hotels offer a minibus into the centre so not a great problem. Taxis are cheap too. Mike > Hello, We are looking to go to the Red Sea ...

However I would opt for a live-a-board if you have had save 50 dives or more. There are fewer divers out that far and the sites less molested. Have just come back from a live-a-board out of Hurghada that went south to the Brothers and we encountered a whale shark off the north-east wall of "little brother". Whatever you decide enjoy your diving. Malcolm |
