 Photo from Talata, Hurghada by MalenaN
On this picture you can see two Masked Butterfliefishes at Talata, Hurghada.
I was diving with Colona Dive Centre in Magawish, about 15 km south of Hurghada. Even though I have heard the opposite I must say that there are many excellent dive spots around Hurghada. Among others Abu Ramada (north side), Aquarium - Shab Abu Ramada (east side), Small Giftun, Fouleya (Sabina), El Desha, Oum Kamar, Camel Reef, Somaya, Abu Haschich etc.
In Hurghada I have taken the AOW course and the UW-photo course (the photos on this page are taken during the course).
I also went on a two day-diving safari to Thistelgorm, Giannis D and other good diving spots.
Colona Dive Centre is a reliable dive centre with good equipment and staff and can highly be recommended.
Most dives in Hurghada are boat dives, and lunch is often eaten on the boat between the dives. Leave a Comment

On the first photo you can see basslets and soft corals at Abu Ramada, the north side, Hurghada.
Without the flash light, the red colour of the coral would not be seen at this depth.
I have been to Hurghada for scuba diving twice. Two weeks in June - July 2000 and another two weeks in December 2000 - January 2001. I prefer the diving in summertime. The water is warmer, the visibility better and there are more fishes. And there are less divers. But of course the diving is good in the Red Sea all year round. The underwater world is great with so many colours and so much life. Leave a Comment Theme: Scuba Diving

 Buddy check by myriam_c
On our first vacation in El Gouna we went diving with The Dive Tribe, a 5* PADI instructor development centre, that was part of our resort (Mövenpick El Gouna Resort). The staff were very professional, the equipment was of first quality and the monitors are of various nationalities.
You can take classes when you're not qualified or just take some dives when you have your degree.
Don't forget to take your logbook and a recent health certificate.
NOTE: all the dives from El Gouna are boat dives, sometimes it takes 1 hour or more to get to the divesite. But then, the most beautiful spots are beneath you: Poseidon Garden, Dolphin Reef, Manta Point and many, many more. Leave a Comment

All the water sports are available here, from snorkeling to windsurf, scuba diving, water ski, parachute ski, water scooters, sailing, yachting...
But if you come to Hurghada and don't try snorkeling or scuba diving, you missed a lot! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

I just wanted to mention that there is a rescue and search teams in the red sea area to help people who are doing water sports and especially diving boats and safari boats. Maybe it is of interest to anyone.

I’ll give you a general brief description highlighting the most interesting things about diving with DiveProdigy.
During my three days diving with them we saw at least 5 turtles on different days, several eagle rays, plenty of HUGE morays, lionfish of various types, stonefish, and of course all the myriad smaller citizens of the reefs. Paul, one of the dive guides, knows the reefs and points out tiny details that would otherwise go unseen. He also knows to take it easy and does not rush one around the reef and back to the boat.
The drift dives were magnificent. The most grandiose was a drift dive over the Coral Gardens of Shaab Sabrena. The Coral Gardens are unscathed and there was so much to see, I didn't know where to look first. I saw a school of 20-30 pipefish, looking totally improbable, just hanging in the current as we whished by.
All days even those which were windy and generally unwelcoming for any sailors out in the open sea were filled with warmth and cheers of the diving centers staff. It was great diving experience!
You can rent all the equipment in the diving center if you're reluctant to bring your own stuff. No lousy equipment, everything is of good brands - Mares, Scubapro, Aqualung Leave a Comment Theme: Scuba DivingAddress: next to Sindbad HotelPhone: +2 012 169 5753, +2 012 7644588Directions: You can dive all the dive sites in the district of Hurghada, dive wrecks - Thistlegorm, Abu Nuhas, Salem Express and much moreWebsite: www.diveprodigy.com Other Contact: diveprodigy@gmail.com
