The most popular dive site in the area in Cleopatra’s Underwater City which is
full of sphinx statues and Roman columns. This city, which was built by
Alexander the Great in 300BC, collapsed into the sea after an ancient
earthquake. Other ancient sites include Lighthouse and Fort Qaitbey.
Couple of wrecks from the Napoleonic-era Battle of the Nile offer an interesting
diversion for advanced divers.
For beginners, the shallow wreck of a WWII airplane gives a glimpse of the area’s modern history.
If you want to bring your camera to make photos or videos during your diving, there is a ticket fee 40 Euro you can pay it to the coast inspector before your dive and receive an official ticket for that.
