    Alright, Hurghada. You’re likely here for the big stuff, and the Emperor Divers site delivers a solid dose of that Red Sea action. We’ve seen a decent variety here, especially if you’re keen on schooling fish; the blackstriped cardinalfish are usually out in force. Keep an eye on the sand patches for grey dolphins or, if you’re really lucky, a false killer whale cruising through. We found it’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive, suitable for those who want to practice their buoyancy without fighting a major current, though it can pick up. You’ll find healthy patches of common mushroom coral too, worth a closer look for blennies and parrotfish.
