Why dive here
With 57+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, octopuses, seahorses and spinner dolphins - NAHED offers some of El Gouna's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 21-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Nahed wreck offers a relaxed dive in El Gouna, perfect for a long safety stop or a second leisurely dive. This converted minesweeper, grounded back in '88, rests in just five metres, making it easily accessible for newer divers or those looking for an extended bottom time. We found schools of bannerfish congregating around its deck structures, with the occasional moray eel peeking from a crevice. It’s a nice spot for photographers to practice, especially when the sun hits the shallow water, illuminating the colours of the corals growing on the hull.
