Greetings to all Red Sea types -
Our diving usually takes us to SE Asia, but we're considering the Red Sea. Been reading the forum and Googling some web sites, and still can't find a clear description of the difference between diving in the North or the South. Let me phrase the question this way ...
If our interest is primarily "big stuff" vs macro, and we aren't interested in wrecks, would one area generally be better than the other? And if we go for the big stuff area, would that mean we'd be missing the best hard/soft coral sites? And if our target month was June, would that make a difference?
How about chances for mantas and whale sharks ... where and when?
And just for reference, we're experienced divers, liveaboard fans, and like 4 dives a day.
Thanks for any suggestions or opinions!
