Compare documented depths, access and location confidence on the map and in individual guides. Our team selects the final diving sites according to conditions, permits and your group's experience.
Which dive sites are around Hurghada?
This directory covers Hurghada, Giftun, Abu Ramada, the northern reefs, El Gouna, Magawish, Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay. Use the area and trip filters to distinguish local sites and access options.
Safaga, Soma Bay and Marsa Alam are separate regions. Thistlegorm and Abu Nuhas are special excursions; offshore and Sinai sites may require a liveaboard or a different departure point. Find those in the full Red Sea directory.
Documented site depths describe the reef or wreck, not your permitted diving depth. Dive plans follow your certification level. The final site depends on conditions, permits and the group's experience.
