Quoted the above for emphasis - Did a liveaboard from Hurghada to the northern wreck and reefs (MY Whirlwind - great crew and guides). The diving was great but the sites are empty at the moment ie the SS Thistlegorm had 4 boats on it (on the 75th anniversary of its sinking) whereas according to our guides it has been up to 20 boats on some days. The reefs were the same with only ever a handful of divers at any site.There are lots of charter flights at the weekend from London to Hurgada..am not sure if that might suit. The liveaboards in the Red Sea are amazing value and well the photos above speak for themselves.
I wished that people in such stunningly beautiful countries with wonderful climates and amazing natural resources stopped fighting and killing each other and enjoyed their lives.
Best fishes everybody x

Tourism wise the country appears to be really feeling it.
As you say good for divers, bad for Egyptian tourism.It was the same with Brothers, Daedalus, and Elphinstone, far fewer boats and divers than in the past. Good for the divers, not so good for Egyptian tourism. This is a great time to visit
