About Diving in Hurghada:-

In the summer months, diving in Hurghada is particularly pleasant with a warm 28°C water temperature, but even in winter, it doesn’t drop below 20°C. So you have the best chances of encountering dolphins, turtles, and even (harmless) sharks all year round. The best time to visit Hurghada is April and May or October and November. These months are great for diving! It is easy to explain that these months are good for diving because the temperature in Hurghada is under 30°C and the temperature of the water is about 24°C. There are more wrecks reachable from Hurghada and shorter dive trips – leaving you time to notch up a few dives a day – or chill out back at your hotel. But Sharm El Sheikh does still have a couple of dive must-haves up its sleeves. Water quality – and coral health are a little better on Sharm’s shores. Local daily diving offers some perfect conditions for those new to diving. Hurghada is a great place for wreck enthusiasts; popular sites like the Thistlegorm and Giannis D are within reach of day trips too.

Egypt’s tourist hotspots, including Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh, boast some of the country’s most renowned beach destinations and attract tourists as well as divers with its offshore coral reefs. However, these spots also seem to attract aggressive sharks, like the two unprovoked fatal attacks in Egypt in 2022.Depth: 10-30m at the main reef, terracing down to 60m+ Location: Around 80 mins from central Hurghada.

If you’re a fan of mountains, beaches, or both, then you will certainly get your fix if you visit Makadi Bay. Makadi Bay is 30 km from the south of Hurghada Airport.
