A week is long enough to dive Hurghada beyond the postcard reefs. Fourteen dives take you from the gardens and coral towers of the central reefs to the walls and currents around Giftun, and on to the wrecks off the city. The plan stays flexible and follows the conditions, so the sites change from day to day.Gardens and coral towersGota Abu Ramada, known as The Aquarium, and the sheltered reefs of Gotta El Deir and Shaab Talata suit every certified diver. Erg Abu Ramada, where coral towers rise from the sand, is for divers with Open Water certification. Fanous and Shaab El Erg are known as dolphin reefs. Dolphins are wild animals, so no sighting can be promised.Walls and drift divesAround Giftun the reefs turn steeper and the water starts to move. Erg Somaya drops along a deep wall where barracuda and tuna are sometimes seen, Hamda and Police Station carry large gorgonian fans, and Sabrina Reef and Ben El Gebel lie between Big and Small Giftun. These dives are for divers with Advanced Open Water certification.WrecksThe El Mina wreck, close to the city, and the Susanna wreck are the week's wreck dives, for divers with Advanced Open Water, CMAS 2-Star or an equivalent certification.Each day follows an easy rhythm: hotel pick-up, two dives with lunch on deck in between, and water, soft drinks and hot drinks all day. Companions who don't dive can ride along and join the snorkelling stops with our snorkelling instructor; their places are booked separately.Tank and weights are included. The rest of your diving equipment is not included in the price: bring your own or rent a full set from us. Nitrox and a dive computer are available for an extra fee.A week works best when it is built around you. Tell us your certification level and the date of your last dive when you book, and we plan the seven days with you on WhatsApp before you arrive.
