Shaab Sabrina - Hurghada

Shaab Sabrina is a decent spot if you're looking for a relaxed dive out of Hurghada, particularly useful as a second dive. You'll often find a few boats moored here, taking advantage of the sheltered conditions. We usually drop in to explore the coral blocks, which are home to plenty of Red Sea classics like Bullethead Parrotfish, schools of Blackstriped Cardinalfish, and the occasional sleek unicornfish darting past. Keep an eye out for blennies – we’ve spotted Crested Sabretooth and Smooth-fin blennies tucked into crevices. It's a comfortable dive, good for stretching out your bottom time without having to fight a strong current.
