Dive-site story
Located south of Hurghada near the headland of Ras Disha, this site features a fringing reef that transitions into an expansive sandy plateau studded with coral pinnacles before dropping off into deeper water. Divers explore the shallow reef wall, inspect large coral blocks, and venture towards the drop-off where pelagic species cruise past. A shallow cave system on the reef flat offers interesting swim-through possibilities when surge permits.
Extensive sandy plateau dotted with coral ergs and gorgonian sea fans
Shallow swim-throughs and overhangs along the main reef wall
Frequent encounters with giant morays and blue-spotted ribbontail rays resting under table corals
