Dive-site story
Situated south of Hurghada near the headland of Ras Disha, this site combines a shallow fringing reef plateau with a steep offshore drop-off. Divers often start along the outer wall before drifting back toward sheltered coral pinnacles and small overhangs populated by glassfish. The sandy plateau between the main reef and outer ergs provides shelter for bottom dwellers, while pelagics periodically cruise past the deeper outer contours.
Series of coral pinnacles (ergs) carpeted in soft corals and glassfish schools
Steep outer reef wall with small crevices and cavernous swim-throughs
Frequent encounters with resting rays and cruising barracuda
