Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, seahorses, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Manta Point. offers some of Hurghada's richest reef diving. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Manta Point, off Hurghada, is exactly what the name suggests, a cleaning station for manta rays and the closest place to spot them from the major Hurghada dive resorts. We've often seen them gliding gracefully, particularly between May and August. The site also attracts bottlenose dolphins, and we've even had whale sharks cruise past on occasion. It’s an easy drift dive, great for anyone wanting a genuine chance at seeing bigger pelagics.
