Scuba Diving in Nuweiba

Nuweiba, a dozy but very characteristic Bedouin town on the Gulf of Aqaba, offers a lot to the scuba diver. As a beautiful and relaxed diving holiday destination, Nuweiba will appeal to those looking for calm away from the crowds and a return to the virgin face of the Red Sea. Gardens of hard and soft coral host a wealth of beautiful marine life, in turquoise crystal clear waters.

Scuba diving in Nuweiba is a very relaxed affair. Basically all dive sites are reachable from shore, thus diving is normally conducted with jeeps or pick ups which drop you at the selected sites. In between, you will be offered a delicious cup of Bedouin tea or coffee, and you will still have the time to go back to your hotel and relax by the beach or the pool.

The Nuweiba marine area is protected, as many other areas in Egypt, and diving centres here operate under environmental-friendly procedures. In the outskirts of the Nuweiba region is the Ras Abu Galum Protected Area, a truly off-the-beaten-track desert-sea paradise.



About the destination

  • Selecting Nuweiba, in the Red Sea Riviera, as the place to get your scuba diving certification is an excellent choice. Conditions are ideal and there is plenty to see: gardens of hard and soft coral and interesting fish species like razorfish, shrimpfish, stonefish, and Pegasus fish. Those with a keen eye for detail will find the elusive frogfish, the delicate seahorse and the multihued nudibranch fascinating.
