When to Visit
Everyone can visit Egypt all year round because visibility and water temperature is just right all the time. We recommend you to book in spring until the middle of summer. Summer months may be too hot, and diving may not be that comfortable. It’s great to take a trip in autumn also, and divers may need a thicker wetsuit when visiting during winter. Permit fees, rental equipment, and other surcharges are payable on board. The methods of payments are local cash currency, EUR, USD, MasterCard and Visa.
