A little farther south in the Red Sea, Port Ghalib, is even more clear than the Sharm El-Sheikh/Hurghada area. The latter is pretty clear, but since it's near the Gulf of Suez, there tends to be more current in the area, thus a little less clarity.
I have friends on their post-retirement tour of the world (and doing it right!!!), who just left Indonesia (from the P.I. to Bali) and did the
Raja Ampat Aggressor II, who are now in the
Maldives on the Maldives Aggressor II. I haven't heard from them since the Maldives trip started (no signal out there!!!), but if it's anything close to the experiences they had in Indonesia it will be epic. Yes, they are, like me, fans of the Aggressor fleet. Not the least expensive, but very high standards are maintained across their entire fleet.
I've dove quite a few times in Italy and Greece, well, "The Med", and when it wasn't work, it was AMAZING too.
So yes, go to all those places, they all amazing and each offers something slightly different than the other.
