| Mooie duik voor de kust van Hurghada
The main reef is surrounded by a 9-15 meters sandy area, where a coral garden extends in all directions. Both to the left and right of the reef you'll find various coral pinnacles. Even in bad weather conditions this is a calm place to dive. Current normally goes from the north splitting at the northern side.
Look for butterfly fish, yellow goatfish, bannerfish, sweet lips and barakudas often in large schools. Morays, jackfish, crocodilefish, stonefish, and occasionally turtles, eaglerays, and dolphins.
A busy site but not without good reason. Shallow, 15m max, but dramatic none the less with two huge coral towers shooting up to the surface from the sea bed just west of the reef. Populated with stonefish, scorpionfish, crocodilefish and all the small stuff too the mere architecture of the coral above you is worth the dive alone, not to mention the colours and textures of the life that wraps them up. If the current is gently head up north over the coral garden too before making your way back around the reef. Watch out for murderous triggerfish lurking under the mooring area. Apparently they only bite fins but I've seen the look on their faces and keep well away.....
