Protected moorings, good in most conditions — excellent for training
The closest site on this list to central Hurghada, built around a shallow wall over a sloping sandy bottom dotted with coral blocks and two striking soft-coral pinnacles. An easy, sheltered dive that's equally good for a first certification dive or a relaxed second dive of the day.
