Scuba Diving Magazine have a guide to Scuba Diving vacations in Red Sea written by readers of the Magazine. They say that the lack of fresh water flowing into the sea, and the intense evaporation causes the Red sea to be saltier than most. The water is cooler, the seas are choppy , and visibility varies.

They also say here that:

Depending on which part of the Egyptian Red Sea you visit, you can dive shallow patch reefs, deep walls and shipwrecks, but for many divers, the best diving is found on coral ergs. Seamounts, pinnacles or bommies by other names, these coral mountains rise to within feet of the surface, offering shallow coral gardens swarmed by tropical fish and deep coral walls tended by massive pelagics.
