Diving on the Sea Serpent Contessa liveaboard
Diving in the Egyptian Red Sea means a variety of dive sites and wreck options to choose from. The Red Sea is suitable for divers of all levels, including rebreather and technical diving.
The Red Sea offers ideal diving weather conditions year-round, but temperatures are at the highest, ranging from 77 to 113 F (25 to 45 C) during the summer from June to September. Water temperatures range from 62 to 84 F (17 to 29 C) throughout the year.
From diving with sharks at Brothers Islands and Elphinstone to exploring the wreck of the Salem Express, divers can delight in the Red Sea’s underwater treasures with the Sea Serpent Contessa’s varied itineraries throughout the year.
Covering all the top dive spots in the area, with up to four dives a day, the professionally trained captains, crew, and guides of the Sea Serpent Contessa ensure that guests have an outstanding experience above and below the water.
