Hurghada
The many dive sites around Hurghada and El Gouna have made them popular towns for scuba diving enthusiasts. Dive schools pop up and close again so check the dive shop of your choice thoroughly for equipment and reputation. Most tourists that go on a holiday will go to Hurghada or El Gouna. It is famous because of the many one week beach tourists lying in the sun spending their time reading and other in-house activities. However, Hurghada and El Gouna are cheap places for day dives and for getti...
Giannis D
The Greek freighter Giannis D with a size of over 100 meters of length is one of the biggest to be found here at Sha'ab Abu Nuhas. It was a cargo ship which was originally build in Japan and named the Shoyo Maru. Then in 1975 she was sold and renamed to Markos and this name can still be found at the vessels hull. In 1980 it got its actual name the Giannis D when it was sold again to a Greek company. The Greek used it for transporting wood when, in April 1983, it was on a trip from Croatia to...
Ras Nasrani
Ras Nasrani or Christian Cape lies at only 20 kilometers north of Sharm el-Sheik and is famous for its rapid changing underwater scenery. From the usual boat mooring you will find a steep wall in the south, a gradually descending plateau to the north and some high current drift diving around the corner. Diving at this changing scenery is definitely the reason why it is so spectacular. You will just be blown away by everything you see around here. Even mantas and whale sharks have been spotted. T...
Elphinstone Reef
Elphinstone Reef or Sha'ab Abu Hamra, located 20 kilometers out of Marsa Alam, is a reef not bigger than 300 meters in length. Its spectacular walls drop far below 100 meter on both sides of the reef. Strong currents make this a perfect drift dive along steep walls with many species of fish and covered in soft corals. Life which can be seen here include barracuda, angel fish, and hoards of anthias, groupers, morays and shoals of Suez fusiliers. The reef is covered in soft coral and to t...
Thistlegorm
The 126 meter long Thistlegorm was discovered in 1956 by Jacques Cousteau and is one of the most famous wrecks in the world. Thistlegorm is the local name of a British vessel, which was attacked from the air and sunk in 1941 because it carried a lot of war supplies such as guns, bombs and mines. Today you can still see items such as rifles, motor bikes, train carriages and even trucks. The stern section of the wreck lies almost horizontal to the sea bed; the rest of the wreck is nearly upright. ...
Shark, Jolande Reef and Anemone City
Shark and Yolanda Reefs are two twin mounts that extends for hundreds of meters below the surface. This dive is best and most often done as a drift dive dropping in on Anenome City. Then swim across blue for a few minutes to hit shark reef, which starts at about 26 meters below the surface and resembles a submerged mountain peak. The eastern end of the site is a sheer vertical wall that extends to the sea bed downwards. Whichever side you choose the current will take you on to Yolanda reef, an...

Thomas Reef
Thomas Reef is the smallest and most popular reef in the middle of the straits of Tiran. It is so small that when currents are small you can circum navigate the whole reef. But currents are often huge particularly at the northern and southern sides which is the reason diving here is often done as a drift dive across its western or eastern wall. The south has some spectacular vertical walls as well and a plateau at 25 meters with a deep canyon. This canyon starts at 35 meters and has three arches...
