What is Drift Diving?

Drift diving is a type of scuba diving where divers are carried by the movement of water, allowing for a unique and often relaxing underwater experience. It’s especially popular in areas like Sharm El Sheikh where consistent and manageable currents create ideal conditions.

During a drift dive, you may glide slowly across a coral reef or zoom along a drop-off teeming with marine life. With the right training, drift diving becomes a fun, safe, and effortless way to explore large areas of the underwater world.
