    Excalibur sits just off Hurghada, an easy dive to 19m. It’s a good spot for newer divers to get comfortable, with generally calm conditions. You’ll find whip corals, some schooling fusiliers, and we often spot a few lionfish tucked into the reef. It’s not the Red Sea's most spectacular site, but it’s a reliable choice for a relaxed afternoon dip.
