Why Dive Hurghada?
Hurghada offers access to some of the Red Sea's most famous sites, including the shipwrecks of Abu Nuhas and the vibrant reefs of the Giftun Islands.
Respect the Vibe
"Perfect your buoyancy: Ensure you don't accidentally touch the reef or seabed."
"No touching or collecting: Leave everything as you found it. Do not collect shells or coral."
"Maintain distance: Respect the marine life and keep a safe distance from fragile structures."
"Proper weighting: Use the correct amount of weight to avoid dragging along the bottom."
Book Smart Tip
Ensure your center is CDWS certified. For certified divers, ask about the "Abu Nuhas" wreck trips for something truly special.
Important
Always wait at least 24 hours after your last dive before flying.
