    Deep South, Egypt, offers a solid opportunity for divers seeking encounters with the bigger inhabitants of the Red Sea. We're talking hammerhead sharks, often cruising the blue, alongside other pelagic species. Drift diving is the order of the day here, letting the current carry you past healthy walls and even a few wreck sites, which means it’s best suited for advanced divers comfortable with varied conditions. While popular, the sheer scale of the diving environment means you can still find moments of quiet observation, especially if you get lucky with a passing manta ray or a pod of dolphins.
