When is the best time to dive the Red Sea?

The best time to dive the Red Sea is March and May and September to November when the air and sea temperatures are warm. But if you prefer quieter dive sites and you don’t mind cooler air and sea temperatures December to February are good months to dive with abetter chance to sea oceanic whitetips.

On the other hand, if you can bear the heat of the summer months, then a good time to visit is between June to August. But be aware the heat and sun can be quite unbearable during this time. Having said that, you’re on a liveaboard with sea all around you read for you to jump in an cool off.
