Ham Ham
Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, seahorses, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Ham Ham offers some of Hurghada's richest reef diving. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ham Ham is one of those Hurghada spots we often recommend when someone asks for "something different, but still chill." It’s got a good collection of smaller reef fish – we’ve consistently spotted Bluebell Blennies and those neat Blackline Fangblennies tucked into crevices. Keep an eye out for the occasional cowfish cruising by. While it doesn't boast the dramatic drop-offs of other Red Sea sites, it offers a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on macro subjects or divers just wanting a peaceful afternoon exploring the reef. We always check for the Dapple Coris.
