Climate
Egypt is in the arid
desert belt, therefore hot in the day and cool to cold
at night. Water temperature is constantly 20-26° C
(lowest in February, highest in August).
Wetsuits are necessary
throughout the year, normally 4 mm in summer and 7 mm in
winter.
Watch for dehydration
due to low humidity. Drink far more water than usual and
add extra salt to your meals.
Passport
Please ensure that your
passport is not due to expire for a minimum period of at
least six months after your expected date of departure
from Egypt. In this event you should ensure that your
passport is renewed prior to departure for
Egypt.
Also your passport must
have two blank pages left to allow room for your visa
stamps. Please note: Israeli and South African stamps in
your passport do not cause a problem in
Egypt.

Certificates and
Logbooks
Except for beginners courses, only
divers presenting internationally recognized diving
certificates e.g. PADI, NAUI, CMAS, BSAC, SSI will be
allowed to dive.
Diving associations do
recognize each others certification. You must present
your diving certificate(s) and logbook to
dive.
Airlines & Equipment
All scuba diving
equipment must be carried within the weight allowance
permitted by the airline (usually 20kg). However, most
airlines make an extra allowance for diving equipment
within reasonable limits providing you show your
certification card on check-in. Pack your diving
equipment separately.
Depth gauges, computers,
cameras and video equipment can be affected by low
pressure so carry them in hand luggage if
possible.
Flying & Diving
When planning your
holiday, remember that you should not dive within 24
hours of your return flight.
