recommendations for diving in Red Sea?

[S/V Always]

Hi there,
I will be visiting my home country Turkey (I currently live is US) in a few months and I'd like to take the oppurtunity and explore Red Sea while I am at that part of the world. I do not have any real information about where to dive in Red Sea. Could someone please give me a bit information about where to go, dive, which dive operation to use, etc.. I am mostly interested in liveaboards.

Thanks

Try diviing with a guy named Rudi Kniep (German, wife Egyptian) out of a little port called Hurgata...Egypt Air flies in there. Not a live aboard but the bungalows they use for divers are good for the reigon.

Or you could try Tony Backhurst they do great liveaboards, http:///www.scuba.co.uk
I did a trip on Cyclone this time last year and loved it.

Wherever you go in the Red Sea, you are likely to find reef, and even many of the wrecks can be more like reefs, they are so smothered with coral.

The Brothers I have yet to visit, but I hear they are stunning, with both wrecks and reef to see.

The Southern Red Sea is meant to be spectacular, however more suited to experienced divers due to the stronger currents. You are more likely to see the big fish too.

Hope you have fun.
