Red Sea Divers

What Deep Sea Diving has to offer for diving holidays

Scuba Diving




Liveaboard
diving, more commonly identified in the industry as a diving safari, is becoming increasingly popular, because up until recently they have been extremely costly, but due to the shrink in economy, the diving business has dipped radically and thereon discounted deals for
diving holidays
which are usually all inclusive have been introduced in an effort to attract existing customers and potential customers too.




In the private sector Liveaboards are normally converted yachts or powerboats which accommodate to two people that would be their primary home, which would be based in the marina and at sea. But in the commercial trade, liveaboards are usually specifically designed which are built to accommodate ten to thirty divers for a week, maybe more, with a length of fifty to one hundred and thirty feet.




Liveaboard holidays are not just for experienced divers though, many companies propose packages for people who have little or no skill in diving. Another motive why liveaboard holidays are becoming more and more popular is that up until approximately ten years ago, the boat would be extremely limited to how many people it can carry, and the features it had onboard were really plain. But nowadays many liveaboards have private en-suites, mini bars, televisions, Jacuzzis (higher end of the market though)




The Red Sea, which is as well identified as the Arabian Gulf, is believed to be the 'youngest' ocean in the world, and also one of the warmest with a common temperature of twenty six degrees. It was only in the 1950s when the Red Sea became a sought after diving destination after Hans Hass's expedition revealed the brilliant marine life and coral reefs. It is believed that there is well over one thousand diverse sort of fish, of which over twenty percent of the kind of fish cannot be found anywhere else in the world. There are more than two hundred different types of soft and hard coral reefs too, which are estimated to be around five to seven thousand years old.




Forty percent of the Red Sea is at a depth of no more than one hundred metres, while twenty five percent is at a depth of no more than fifty metres. As a result this is perfectly suited for divers to explore the marine life and coral reefs.




The following are the mainly famed attractions the Red Sea has to offer, although there are several more these are the main two: one of which is the 'Ros Muhammed' which is a national park aimed at protecting rare marine life. The second is 'SS Thistlehorn' which was a British Naval armed Freight, which was sunk by German bombers in 1941.



Red Sea Diving
holidays in general are perceived as the ideal way to relax and be cut off from the rest of the busy world, and to be able to view some of the most rare and complex but gorgeous fish the sea has to offer.




Scuba diving can often be seen as fairly dangerous, mainly because of what creatures are in the ocean, but rest assured all people who work on liveaboards are fully trained in all aspects of diving, from training to rescue and support. Scuba diving done at the right destination can be a hugely rewarding experience, being able to swim with the rarest aquatic life there is and swimming next to postcard views.
