Diving in Hurghada

Why Hurghada is one of the best places to dive

Hurghada sits on Egypt's Red Sea coast, with warm, clear water and coral reefs a short boat ride from the marina. It is one of the easiest places in the world to learn to dive, and one of the most rewarding places to keep diving once you have.

Water temperature through the year

The water ranges from about 22°C in winter to 29°C in summer, so you can dive all year round.

The best time to come

April to November, when the water is at its warmest, visibility is at its best and marine life is most active. The winter months are quieter and still very diveable.

What you will see

Colourful coral reefs, clownfish, moray eels, lionfish, rays and turtles, and sometimes dolphins.

Good for beginners, interesting for everyone

Many sites are shallow, calm and clear, with little current, which makes them ideal for learning. Experienced divers can go deeper, onto walls and wrecks.

Getting here

We meet you at Hurghada airport and take you to your hotel, then collect you each morning for the boat and drive you back in the afternoon.
