Diving Operators in the Egyptian Red Sea

Diving at the Brothers and Southern Egyptian Red Sea

The diving at the Brothers and the southern islands, like Elphinstone, is excellent. On this page we list diving operators visiting these sites - either by liveaboard or, for Elphinstone, day trips from Marsa Alam. Transfers are usually arranged from Marsa Alam or Hurghada. For flight price comparisons see Kelkoo. For hotels see our Accomodation page.

For other areas see Dive Operators in Sharm El-Sheikh, Dive Operators in Hurghada, Dive Operators in Dahab, Dive Operators in Saudi Arabia, Dive Operators in Jordan, Diving Sudan or books to take.

" Red Sea Diving Safari,whom we were diving with was run by locals & although our dive guide was excellent, in one week our group alone suffered four near misses with propellers of Zodiac inflatable boat engine. Last year we went through Emperor divers, these are a far more professional organisation whom I would not hesitate to recommend. "
Dave Cole

" My wife and I dived with Pioneer Divers in Marsa Alam. They are very friendly whilst remaining professional. We dived every day at Elphinstone and had fantastic sitings of Hammerhead sharks. Small schools of Hammerheads were spotted on most early morning dives with some schools being 20+. If you are looking for sharks then go to Marsa Alam it's only 5 hrs from the UK. Best time to see Hammerhead sharks in June to Sept "

"I would recommend avoiding Diving world. They short changed me 2 days of a liveaboard on a 7 trip! work that out in cash. No one at airport to meet me, less dives than the Germans already on the boat and delivered to the airport late enough to nearly miss flight and sit 15 rows apart. Rubbish!"
Paul Stow

"Just got back from another Red Sea trip,this year again myself & a group of thirteen,unlucky for some,went to Marsa Alam.the company we went with this year Divers world were very poor indeed,we didn't see the rep all week and in spite of paying for 10 boat dives the dive centre had been instructed that we were to have 5 days diving. We had great difficulty contacting anyone & when we did we were told to pay extra money & to claim it back when we got back to Blighty.....NOT!!. "
