One of the questions I'm asked most often as a travel consultant is:

"When is the best time to dive Sharm El Sheikh?"

The answer is surprisingly simple – there really isn't a bad time.

The Red Sea offers world-class diving throughout the year, with each season bringing different water temperatures, marine life encounters and weather conditions.

Winter offers quieter dive sites and excellent visibility, whilst summer brings warmer waters and the chance to encounter larger pelagic species. Autumn is often considered the sweet spot, with warm seas, comfortable temperatures and opportunities to spot whale sharks, manta rays and dolphins.

Whether you're a newly qualified diver looking to build confidence or an experienced diver hoping to tick iconic dive sites such as Shark Reef, Yolanda Reef and the Straits of Tiran off your bucket list, Sharm El Sheikh has something for everyone.

In my full guide I cover:

• Water temperatures by season
• Air temperatures throughout the year
• Marine life you can expect to see
• The best time for beginners
• Whale shark and manta ray seasons
• Family-friendly travel tips
• Why Sharm remains one of the world's best diving destinations
