Diving in the Red Sea

This is my 2nd trip to the Red Sea and it didn’t disappoint again. I did both the southern itinerary for reefs and big animals and the northern itinerary for wrecks and it was one of the best 2 weeks of diving I’ve done.
We did not see many sharks, or any mantas or whale sharks this time, but the reefs of the southern itinerary are some of the healthiest and most colorful in the world. Lots of massive soft coral gardens inhabited with all kinds of tropical reef fish. The best reefs are Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinstone and these can only be accessed via liveaboard.
In the northern itinerary, there are so many wrecks that any wreck diving enthusiast will be very happy. The famous Thistlegorm wreck is the highlight, and the best way to dive it is from a liveaboard so you can plan the dives around the arrival of the multitude of day boats. The reefs in the north are also really nice with a mix of soft and hard corals and large gorgonian fans.
Because most sites in the northern itinerary can also be dived from land-based resorts, the sites are more crowded than the southern itineraries.

Malapascua Island

Malapascua is a must do destination because it is one of the few places in the world where a diver can reliably see thresher sharks up close ... everyday! The sharks are at a pinnacle named Monad Shoal and they come up to the top of the pinnacle at 80ft to get cleaned. This happens at dawn so boats have to leave early in the morning. The payoff though is the chance to see thresher sharks and devil rays.
Lighthouse Reef is also a great dive to do at dusk because there are mating mandarinfish there.
The rest of the dives around Malapascua is mainly macro, with an an amazing array of nudibranchs, seahorse including pygmy seahorse, octopus including blue ring octopus, cuttlefish, frogfish and many more critters. The only downside is that divers can see some signs of reef destruction.
For some nice reefs, sharks and lots of banded sea snakes, do a day trip to Gato Island.
The island itself is small with most of the dive resorts located right on the white sand beach.
