Egypt is an arid desert area and therefore is usually hot and dry during the day but can be cool in the winter months at night. Diving in the Red Sea is year-round with the average visibility being 30m.
The water temperature rarely drops below 20 degrees and we recommend a 4mm suit in the summer months and 7mm in the winter. On average a 5mm suit will be fine.

From December through to February the nights can be cold and it will feel chilly on the boats between dives. We recommend at this time to have a warm fleece or sweatshirt to wear on the boats and warmer clothes in the evenings.
