Oh - Egypt and Red Sea, never been there, but it looks fantastic. The Red Sea itself seems a bit cold to me, but I do get cold easily. I've always wanted to see Egypt too.

Red Sea in Egypt (Dahab, Sharm, Hurghada and Marsa Alam regions) is definitely not cold, it's even been too warm in recent years. For last 16 years I'm in Egypt every year (from May to November) three times 7 days.

I have been to the Caribbean many times, and there is a really cold sea.

For us in Europe, Egypt is really cheap as it costs us 5* all inclusive hotel, together with a round trip flight, only around EUR 600. Of course, this is the price without dives, but if you negotiate well, dives are also very cheap, even less than 25 EUR per dive.
