Location - 45 minutes southeast from Hurghada two ergs come to the surface from an 8m sandy seabed. They are about 50m apart on an east-west axis. To the east of these ergs is a small coral block (the best part of the dive)

Sea Conditions - Usually calm with a mild current from the northeast or northwest.

Dive Plan - Spend your time on the eastern erg and its outlying block. The block is teeming with life and will impress even the most jaded diver.

Marine Life - The coral block has a few large holes containing glassfish and hatchetfish which spill out onto the sur­rounding reef. Above swarm silversides and tiny goatfish. Orangespot and bluefin trevallies hunt amongst them. The main ergs are not as interesting but have various large holes, home to squirrelfish, soldierfish, cardinal fish, glasseyes and hatchetfish.
