Ras Mohammed National Park, Red Sea, Egypt
One of the busiest and most exhilarating places to scuba-dive in the world, the Red Sea, and the Ras Mohammed National Park in particular, offers sites to match every skill level. The deep reefs and occasional strong current make exploration a challenge, but once you've gotten used to the environment, diving in the Red Sea becomes a blast.
At Ras Mohammed, six autonomous areas can be explored, often on a two or three day trip. Reachable only by boat, each spot is memorable: Shark Reef boasts a steep drop and loads of groupers and stingrays; Yolanda Reef holds the remains of a shipwreck; Anemone City has more anemone and small fish than you'll ever see on the Discovery Channel; The Shark Observatory boasts great visibility and several caves; and Jackfish Alley and Ras Zatar provide great photo ops and more cave exploration.
All this is best explored from March to August (the hottest month), when the water temperatures hit the low 80s (°F).
