Shaab Pinky
Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, seahorses, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Shaab Pinky offers some of Hurghada's richest reef diving. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Shaab Pinky is a dependable site, a good spot for when you want a solid dive without too much fuss. We've seen some decent schools of fusiliers here, often swirling around the reef, and the hard corals are generally healthy, providing good shelter for plenty of smaller reef fish. Look closely for the Mimic Blennies popping in and out of their holes, and the Bluebell Blennies, too. If you’re lucky, you might even spot an Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphin passing through, though we've found that's more of a bonus than a regular occurrence. It's a comfortable dive, suitable for divers who appreciate a relaxed pace and a chance to observe the everyday residents of the reef.
