Head to Egypt for a great diving holiday

Egypt is an excellent destination for watersports enthusiasts, it has been suggested.

Alison Dando, marketing and membership manager at the British Sub-Aqua Club, said it is extremely popular with Britons as it is less than five hours away by plane and flights to Cairo and elsewhere can be booked easily from the UK.

"You are on beautiful aqua marine coral reefs with fantastic marine life, potentially in the larger pelagics you've got the sharks, you've got turtles and that's just five hours away," she commented.

Further afield, destinations such as the Caribbean, the Pacific and Indian Ocean offer excellent diving conditions.

According to research published recently by CV Travel, there has been a notable rise in the number of people travelling to non-euro destinations such as Egypt, Morocco and Turkey.

There has also been an increase in demand for educational and activity breaks.
