The Red Sea |
Egypt is a wonderful country with a unique landscape and a great underwater world.
The closest to Europe located tropical sea has its name from a periodical mass propagation of the algae “oscillateria erythraeum”, which colours the water red. The Red Sea stretches from the Gulf of Suez in the North to the strait of Bab el Mandeb, the “Gate of Tears”.
The average depth of the Red Sea is about 900 metres, although the deepest area, off the coast of Port Sudan, is more than 2700 metres deep.

| Because of the almost total separation from the Indian Ocean, unique life forms evolved and created one of the best all year round diving destinations on earth, with water temperatures ranging from 21 degrees in the winter to 29 degrees in the summer. |
| The once small fishing village on the shores of the Red Sea has been famous among European divers since the mid eighties. |
Within the tourism- and diving-boom it was foreseen that the natural balance of the reefs would not only be disturbed by the behaviour of some not careful divers and snorkelers but also damaged.
Under the motto “Take only pictures, leave only bubbles”, a few diving centres in Hurghada founded the “Hurghada Environmental Protection & Conservation Association” in 1992: |
 |
| The Jasmin Diving Sports Center belongs to the founding members and has taken part, that the reefs in the Red Sea provide enough buoys. |
| A system has been created, which protects the nature durably of the shortsightedness of the people. |
