Diving on the Red Sea Aggressor II liveaboard
Most divers who have tried a liveaboard in Egypt even once know the kind of experience it offers, and while each trip may have a different itinerary, the takeaway is the same: incredible dives, new friendships, lots of photos, and great memories. Marine life encounters in the Red Sea can include dolphins, turtles, moray eels, and various species of sharks, including hammerheads and oceanic whitetip sharks, among others.
Year-round warm weather and water in the Red Sea make it the ideal location for all divers, new and experienced, with limitless reefs, fish, a variety of wrecks, and incredible visibility. High season runs from April to November, with land temperatures ranging from 64 to 104 F (18 to 40 C) and comfortable water temperatures ranging from 62 to 84 F (17 to 29 C).
Red Sea Aggrеssor II itineraries include diving on wrecks like the iconic SS Thistlegorm, the most well-known and photographed shipwreck in the Red Sea; its sister ship the Rosalie Moeller, and the ship graveyard of Abu Nuhas Reef. Nitrox is available for those certified at an extra cost.
