Diving In Hurghada
Hurghade offers some of the best diving facilities in the world. The colourful fish and coral is a profound experience for all who visit the resort. The corals are quite shallow and then disappear in the depths and the dark waters of the Red Sea. It is possible to see the colours from the surface, and they are something special. Dive down deep and you will have an amazing experience.
People often prefer Egypt holidays for many other reasons that just diving, for example, a Nile cruise is a popular choice.
You will find many fish living all over the reef and many can be clearly seen from the surface. To have a great diving experience in Egypt, there is an abundance of Hurghada hotels to select whilst you are in the resort. The majority of the hotels are excellent, and reasonable in cost for the quality. Not only is the weather unshakable beautiful, but the accommodation is top of the range.
Diving is available from Sha’ab Ruhr Umm which is to the north, and Gota Abu Ramada to the south. There are regular excursions into the Gulf of Suez to dive the wrecks of Dunraven and Thistlegorm near the region of Abu Nuas.
Some useful diving guidelines whilst in Egypt:
• Always do a pre-dive check with your companion
• Watch your depth and don’t exceed what you have achieved in training. A limit of 30 metres is usually applied
• Make sure that you avoid touching the reef to prevent damage, and also to avoid personal injury
• When you reach 5 metres, perform a safety stop for about 3 minutes. Do this near to the mooring line or close to the reef.
