Ras Disha
Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, seahorses, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Ras Disha offers some of Hurghada's richest reef diving. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ras Disha can be a pretty chill dive, especially if the usual Hurghada bustle isn't what you're after. We typically find it's a good spot for a relaxed drift, letting the mild current carry you along the gentle slope. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs, particularly the Red Sea topshell, tucked into the coral nooks. While we wouldn't promise a whale shark sighting every time, it's one of those sites where you just might get lucky with some pelagics passing through. It’s a solid choice for a second dive or if you're looking for something a bit less demanding.
