How reliable is Red Sea weather for divers?

A forecast is useful for planning but cannot guarantee a sea state. Wind, visibility, waves and local shelter can differ between Marsa Alam, Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh and Dahab, so check the live update and reconfirm with the operator before departure.

What should I check besides air temperature?

Look at wind direction and speed, visibility, wave height where available, water temperature and the timing of the update. A warm, sunny day can still produce an unsuitable boat departure or exposed reef conditions.
