Planning a diving holiday in Hurghada
In Hurghada, El Gouna and Safaga, you dive from a base, and the day boat's destination is decided by the captain and guides in the morning depending on the wind and currents. From Hurghada, it goes to the Giftun Islands, Abu Ramada, El Fanadir and Carless Reef. To the wrecks of Abu Nuhas in the Strait of Gubal, the bases from Hurghada make a long special trip, from El Gouna also by speedboat. In Makadi Bay, Soma Bay and Safaga, you walk down the pier to the house reef; in El Gouna, no hotel has one. You can only reach the Brothers Islands by safari boat, which departs from Hurghada or Port Ghalib.
With this booklet, you plan the week. On a base's weekly schedule, you can see how boat trips and dives at the house reef are spread over the days, with a plan B if the boat does not sail due to the weather. The last day before the return flight remains dive-free. The travel period by month lists water and air temperatures, wind, visibility, crowds and special features, so that you can set the date before booking your flight and accommodation.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print as a booklet at home.
