Erg Abu Ramada

Erg Abu Ramada, also known as the Aquarium, is a medium-sized, oval-shaped reef located about 1 hour south of Hurghada by boat. It is a popular dive site due to its diverse and abundant fish species. The maximum depth is approximately 15 meters. This site is suitable for all levels of divers, with shallow depths ideal for beginners and opportunities for experienced divers to explore deep walls. Currents are typically not a concern, flowing from north to south. One highlight is the chance to observe an adult eagle ray at a depth of 8 meters. On the northeast side of the reef, there is a separate erg covered in orange fire corals and frequented by large shoals of yellow snappers. The surrounding sandy plateau ranges in depth from 12 to 15 meters and offers fantastic dives along the east side with coral pinnacles and beautiful hard corals. The western side features three large ergs surrounded by schools of young barracudas and yellow goatfish.
