Emperor Divers and Learning Through Travel Red Sea Egypt is the dive destination of the 21st century where you will visit the wonders above and below the sea. What better country to visit than one where you will experience ancient archaeological sites like the Great Pyramids of Giza and King Tut's tomb, combined with the wonders of the Red Sea? Egypt is one of the world's greatest dive locations and apparently the best-kept secret for American divers the past 20 years. Jacques Cousteau's favorite dive destination was the Red Sea, as he once claimed: "The Red Sea is a corridor of marvels--the happiest hours of my diving experience have been spent there." Egypt is the leading venue for diving on the Red Sea, with numerous resort cities and fleets of live-aboard and land-based dive operations departing on a daily basis.

The Red Sea dive-resort towns of Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Nuweiba and Dahab are only a few hours' travel from famous antiquities of ancient Egypt. Travelers can visit the Pyramids of Giza, the Temples of Luxor and cruise along the romantic Nile River before departing on a land-based or live-aboard dive adventure on the Egyptian Red Sea. The leading dive operator on the Red Sea is Emperor Divers. Emperor commands a fleet of luxury-class live-aboard boats that depart from a number of Egyptian port cities for destinations in both the Northern and Southern Red Sea.

Emperor Divers also operates dive centers in four locations serving the top Red Sea dive-resort areas. Learning Through Travel is an inbound operator in Egypt with offices in New York and Cairo.
