Gota Abu Ramada, also named the Aquarium, is a dive site full of marine life and great for photographers. At only an hour boat ride from Hurghada it is also one of the best accessible. Actually, it is amazing how this reef survives and continuous to live with these amount of divers visiting it. You will see different types of bannerfish, anthias, parrotfish, angelfish and butterflyfish. But also eagle rays, bigeyes, snappers, sweetlips and trevallies are quite common inhabitants. Don't forget the triggerfish who try to bite you especially in September when they are nesting.
To the west side of the reef are two large coral towers which are beautiful decorated with soft corals and gorgonian fans. To the east are some smaller pinnacles which are swarmed by small fish. You will feel like swimming inside an aquarium and it is definitely one of the better sites so close to Hurghada.
