HURGHADA
LIVEABOARD DIVE TOURS
WITH REEFCOMBER TOURS

Unlike Sharm El Sheikh where all the diving is along the coastline, Hurghada benefits from the numerous small islands within a 10-15Km radius of the town. If it were not for these numerous islands the diving would be difficult as the area would be open to the prevailing wind. The diving around these islands is varied with shallow reefs and coral gardens to dramatic walls and drop offs offering a variety of diving second to none. During the last three years the whole area has become protected and has benefited greatly from the installation of mooring buoys at all the reefs by HEPCA, the Hurghada Environmental Protection and Conservation Association. The islands and reefs although not designated as national parks are protected and the same rules apply, don’t touch the coral or feed the fish and remember it is illegal to take anything from the sea bed dead or alive.

Diving :

CARLESS REEF has a large contingent of tame moray eels, some will allow themselves to be caressed and petted. The reef slopes to a wide plateau at 25 metres then a wall drops off into deeper water. The plateau has beautiful coral formations with soft corals and arches. Small caves are homes for sweepers, bass and small napoleon. Fields of table corals provide shelter for sweetlips, bannerfish, butterflys and spotted grouper. Even without the morays, Carless Reef is an outstanding dive site. We will also be diving the wrecks of the Thistlegorm, the Carnatic, the Dunraven and the Giannis D.
