How and WHY to Dive the Red Sea | Egypt SCUBA Diving | Amelie Liveaboard
Вставка

- I went on a SCUBA diving liveaboard boat in Hurghada, Egypt, to dive the Red Sea. What's a liveaboard? I'm glad you asked - this video will tell you all about it!
A liveaboard boat is basically what it sounds like. You sleep on board, and your days are filled with diving, eating, sunbathing and having a relaxing time in general. I went on a boat called Amelie, on a Best of Hurghada trip. Previously I've also gone on a trip to the Straits of Tiran, to see the many wrecks of the Red Sea.
In this video I show you everything you can expect from the boat, and from the trip in general. Food, lounge areas, diving, and a short introduction to what SCUBA diving involves - this video walks you through all of that.
But there's more. A liveaboard is a perfect place to meet new people and exchange travel stories, and to get to know the amazing crew that works on board. And you're constantly surrounded by the amazing beauty of the Red Sea itself.
I also show you a bit of what you can see underwater in this video. Everything from moray eels, to bannerfish, batfish, lionfish, tiny crabs and shrimp, to playful dolphins who may greet you both when diving and when snorkling at the surface.
SCUBA diving is something that I recommend everyone to try - and the Red Sea is an absolutely amazing place to see.

Today it's cold and raining in Sweden. I want to go back to Egypt!
It gets pretty hot for 6 months of the year. I live in a Mediterranean city. This place was between 30-35 C 2 days ago. However, this place is relatively warm. Because the neighboring city almost saw 40-45 C in July and August. Probably Egypt is much warmer. You might want to think again later. 😅
@@doguskoyuncu5177 I think it's different if you live in a hot place, or up here in the cold north. I've been to Egypt in July/August a couple of times, and Italy and Malta etc as well. I love 30-40 degrees! But it would probably suck to have it that warm all the time...
@@ThreeStarVagabond Yes. Sometimes, I am feeling like staying in Tatooine ( desert planet of Star Wars). However, I understand you. It could be quite difficult to live in the North during winter. Long dark winter nights, heavy snow masses around the roads and extreme temperature drops. I think it is not for everyone to enjoy it.
@@doguskoyuncu5177 Exactly! I hear that people tend to think that their own weather is the worst generally...
@@ThreeStarVagabond Probably, many people from hot countries think want to live in cold countries, and the same as the opposite for the people of cold countries. However, I think it doesn't matter at all. I know, lot of people from cold countries are living here and they really like it. But my favorite is milder temperatures partly cloudy and a bit windy air. I am calling it as " atmospheric pleasure". :D
Thanks God I can go there every month it’s just 5 hrs drive from Cairo ,,,life is diving 😊
Damn, that sounds so nice! I'd love to live somewhere with a house reef (sort of) one day...
Thanks!
Woohoo, thank you! :D
Thank u so much for the video. Amelie will be perfect for me . I will book this liveaboard.
So happy to hear that! I was very pleased with Amelie so I hope you'll have a great trip 😀
Thank you very much for the insight, I'm about to go on my first liveaboard and found this very helpful
That's great to hear! And I'm a bit jealous since I'm stuck in cold Sweden right now, and I'll have to wait a while until I can dive again... Hope you'll have a blast :D
Very cool, nice, and looks fun! 😀 Great Video!
Thank you so much! It really was amazing - I definitely need to go back again 😀
Brings back memories from when we were there, like it👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing my friend 😀👍
hurghada is were we met.
Really, you met there? That's amazing! And thank you so much - it was such a nice trip there, and I loved being able to dive again :D
had fun watching, thanks! :D
Thank you so much! :D
Incredible. The images in the underwater shots are very vivid. I didn't know there was such biodiversity in the Red Sea. Thanks for sharing such events. I hope you didn't get hurt by a lionfish. See you on your next adventure.
Thank you so much! The Red Sea is actually quite amazing for diving - good corals, lots of marine life, lots of wrecks, and good weather year round. No worries - the lionfish were just chill and nice. Cheers! :D
Thanks for bringing back some nice memories with your vid. Hope you will have some more amazing dives. Ever since my son was born, I haven't been diving (although it's one of the safer sports you can enjoy) and I do miss it. I made my OWD at Makadi Bay and the Red Sea is a good spot to start. My wife encountered a turtle face-to-face on her first (test) dive, but unfortunately she was not excited rather than terrified by that. A bit of a shame.
Would have to look through my log book for the worst experience of almost 100 dives, but the night dive with all the lion fish around me as soon as uncovered the torch really had some "I Am Legend" movie feel to it.
That sounds awesome! I can imagine the brown wetsuit time when the torch comes on again in that situation. My ex wife is the one who got me to dive and her first dive she saw a seahorse. But she was completely unimpressed. "Whatever, just a seahorse. But look at this, I saw a Nemo as well!"
Looks like you had a great trip! Just going there next week on the sister boat, your video made me really look forward to it!
I'm a bit jealous! I'd love to be on a boat in warm weather right now instead of in cold Sweden - hope you'll have a great time :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Keep up the great work you do on youtube :) I totally get that, I live in Germany and I am coming from sunny Romania, so it's hard not to talk about the weather here! I do want to say that the little I've seen of Sweden was absolutely insane from an aesthetic and architectural point of view! Please do keep making these videos, it was super informative to me. I hope I will see dolphins as well! :)
@@astrofireball Thank you, I will do my best to keep making hopefully interesting videos :) Romania has such lovely weather! I can imagine that it's quite a difference living in Germany compared to it. But yeah, I do love many parts about Sweden - such as the scenery and all the nature. But there are many negative things as well (as with all countries!)
Great Video!!!!
Thank you so much! 😊
@@ThreeStarVagabondHow was diving itself? I didnt see any wrecks... I'm thinking on going on exactly this Trip on the 16th of July.
@@phil9760 The diving was really nice! It's not the best in the Red Sea, but there's a bit of everything around Hurghada (including a few wrecks). But the best wrecks are up in Straits of Tiran, and the bigger fish are down south by Brothers & St John. But then you have to take a full week instead for either location.
@@ThreeStarVagabond Yeah i've been on a liveaboard In the south, but to be honest there was almost no bigfish. I think in summer its just to hot for them in the shallow water haha... Well if there are some nice Wrecks, healthy corals and good visibility - i'm happy. Do you think i will be happy then? 😂
@@phil9760 Oh yeah good point! I want warm water myself so I guess I miss the best times of year... But yeah I think so! I mean, Coron in the Philippines is better for wrecks, and Komodo in Indonesia is better for corals... But it was good, and I was satisfied :D
Rest of the world, please learn from Egypt. No anchors!
