Scuba Diving in the Red Sea, Egypt

Scuba Diving in the Red Sea, Egypt

I did four amazing dives in Hurghada, Egypt. The first dive was a shore dive right in front of the diving center called "House Reef" and the second dive was a boat dive approximately 10 minutes offshore called "Gota Abu Makadi". These 2 dives featured a beautiful hardcoral garden with many large and low coral formations, plenty of schools of fish, a big pinnacle that almost touches the surface, a huge blue spotted stingray swimming underneath me, a crocodile fish hidden in the sand, lots of lion fish, and a huge moray eel.

The third and fourth dives were during an all day boat dive with Blue Paradise Diving Center from Hurghada to the Giftun Island National Park. There are some picturesque coral formations, a wonderful sloping coral garden surrounded by a couple of very fine pinnacles standing on a 12 metre deep sandy bottom. On these two dives, I saw 2 huge moral eels in the same hole! Wow, that was cool! I also saw blue spotted stingrays, crocodile fish, napoleon fish, lion fish, flute fish, and lots of little tropical fish. The coral pinnacles were amazing and they had so much life around them.
