I last dove the Red Sea 25 years ago. I recall clear, warm water with vibrant coral and fish life. Of course, that was in October. March is still considered winter in Egypt, and the water hasn’t started to warm up yet. Even in a wetsuit, the Red Sea in March is brisk. A full 5-mm wetsuit was just barely enough as the water temperature was only 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 C). Unfortunately for us, the wind was blowing constantly which made exiting the water and removing wetsuits a little chilly. Still, we had a great time with Aquarius Diving Club.
