Shaab Tiffany - Hurghada

Shaab Tiffany sits on the quieter side of the Hurghada dive circuit. It’s a solid spot for a relaxed drift, often with a gentle current carrying you over a sloping reef. We typically find Grey Sweetlips tucked under ledges and plenty of Red Sea Clown Surgeons grazing the hard corals. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a pod of bottlenose dolphins cruising by in the blue, though it’s not an everyday occurrence. This site works well for those wanting an easy dive with good coral coverage without the crowds you sometimes find closer to shore.
