Sharm El Sheikh Sports & Outdoors

Scuba Diving is one of the most popular sports in Sharm El Sheikh. There are many diving centres in Sharm for the beginners and also the experienced. If you are planning on going Scuba Diving in Sharm make sure you check out the company first to make sure they are a legitmate company and are insured and have good knowledge and that you are accompanied by a qualified diver.
Without a doubt, Sharm El Sheikh is one of the best diving destinations in the world. It has always been a beautiful place, but never before has it been as famous and popular as it is today. Twenty years ago a diving trip was real adventure for tourists. Divers had to accept a long trek through the desert and setting up camp at the beach before they could go for a dive.
Nowadays you can easily go on a diving trip allover Sharm El Sheikh.

The link is not a commercial but it has some nice tips an pictures!

Equipment: You can rent all the equipment here, but I think that buying Your own siliconmask will give a more pleasant trip in the water - It wont leak!
And please read this:
Damage to these natural treasures is due to actions that may appear to be perfectly normal but in fact can and do have serious consequences. For example, a swimmer, diver or snorkeller resting, standing or walking on a coral surface damages the fragile tissue surface of the coral animal. The coral is then open to bacterial attack and disease, and will often not recover from this impact.

Once you look into the beautiful red sea, it will be an automatic urge to want to snorkel or dive. You see so many people do it and the dive boats can be seen dotted around the sea. It is one of the best places to dive in the world...I'd reseach the fishes that you can see in the Red Sea before you go, make aware of the fishes to avoid such as the 'Lion Fish'. Plus it is fun to see a fish that you know the name of!

I have never snorkeled before, but i took the plunge and got addicted! It was amazing what you could see under the sea! Although the sea is crystal clear and you could see the fish from standing on a jetty...you get to see the real beauty when you are in the sea.

It is an opportunity not to be missed...

Equipment: You can hire snokel equipment - usually by beaches or dive centres. I'd recommend you take your own snorkel for hygiene reasons! Make sure you take a mask that has a fitted nose piece as when i went i just took ordinary goggles and i couldn't stand the water going up my nose. If you are not too confident in the water, don't fear you can hire a life jacket at Naama Bay beach.

Great experience of driving a quadrocycle in a desert. This photo I've managed to take by my own - just on stretched arm.

Equipment: Do not forget to take spectacles and something to cover your face and mouth. Otherwise they will propose to you to buy those kerchieves for $5 each!

When i was in Sharm i went in Sea trip for about 7 hours in the great red sea .
the trip was wonderfull and if you go in group it will be so much joyfull . the activity is after go in the boat about 1 hours they stop the boat and they ask if there any one want to swim for about 30 min and after they came back to move then after 1,5 h they stop again and they swimm again but it,s so good because they stop near land and swim to it and back , it,s for me my first time and wish to do it again , after we move and in this time we have some food and then they stop again to have the most beauty activity , it,s swim again but near the Murjan . so you can see it clearly and you can touch it but it,s dangerous so i didn,t but it was the most wonderfull thing i do it . so after we bach to sharm .

Equipment: If you didn,t have some equipment for swming under the sea you can rent before the boat move and you can ask the boat manager to bring you some equipment .

This is John upon successfully completing his PADI open water course. This was done with Camel Diving who we would highly recommend, you can find them down by the beach by the hotel, or alternatively visit them in Naama Bay where they have the Camel Bar, Hotel and Shop.
