Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, seahorses, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Gotha Abu Galawa offers some of Hurghada's richest diving. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Gotha Abu Galawa sits at a modest 15 meters, making it an ideal spot for new divers to get comfortable. The dive here is often relaxed, a good place to work on buoyancy without strong currents pushing you around. You'll likely see the common reef fish darting amongst the coral patches. We’d suggest it as a gentle introduction to Red Sea diving or for a simple second dive of the day.
