Enjoy an easy and relaxing dive with dolphins in one of the few places in the world with perfect conditions for a great dive. A perfect spot for those who love to catch a glimpse of dolphins frolicking underwater.
The northern coast of Red Sea is a very special place to see and to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat. The reef is shaped like a horseshoe, and there is a protected lagoon, which is a perfect place for spinner dolphins to rest and play. However, dolphins are not always there. And, if they are, they are fast swimmers, so divers should be careful not to scare them away. Besides dolphins, divers may also spot tropical fishes, colorful coral gardens, goatfish, turtles, butterflyfish, lionfish, leopard groupers, and large rays. The area also has beautiful drop-offs and several pinnacles with great coral formations. This is one of the most popular sites and boat trips in Hurghada so divers will have to patient with many tourists in the area. If you do meet a dolphin, don't swim directly at them; swim parallel to them and if they want to play they will approach you. Divers also should remember not to touch them - that can be a method of disease transmission both fungal and viral diseases can potentially be transmitted both ways. Diving conditions here are easy with no strong currents and the depth is around 15 meters per average. The dive site is also great for underwater photography.
