An Underwater Guide to the Red Sea introduces over 1,000 species of
invertebrate and over 200 species of coral, forming the basis of a
marine eco-system which includes 1,100 species of fish, of which
just under 20% are endemic. The high level of endemism is one of
the main factors that makes scuba diving in Egypt so attractive.
The dive sites offer unobstructed opportunities to spot tropical
marine life in crystal-clear waters, ranging from sharks and
dolphins to gorgonian fans and feather-stars. Diving types include
shallow patch reefs, drift dives and walls, and a collection of
some of the most interesting wrecks you are likely to find
anywhere, including the world-famous Carnatic and Thistlegorm
wrecks. Many of the reefs stretch out far into the sea and form
intricate labyrinths of plateaus, lagoons, caves and gardens.
Divided into three parts, the first is an introduction to diving
and snorkelling in the Red Sea including what to expect and where
to base yourself; next a guide to the best sites for diving and
snorkelling; and finally a photographic identification of 282 of
the most common species of fish, invertebrates, corals and
megafauna. The second edition has been carefully updated, so that
it continues to be an essential pocket guide for divers and
snorkellers.
