 Diving    
     
El Gouna is a real divers' destination. For new divers, heated pools and calm local reefs provide an excellent start to your diving experience. For more experienced divers, El Gouna's range of walls, reefs and wrecks are the finest in the Red Sea; thus it guarantees an unforgettable diving experience.
El Gouna is blessed by being a marine protected area, which makes the diving sites quieter than many in the Red Sea, which makes the divers' interaction with marine animals, and especially the dolphins, more common.
Also, at El Gouna divers can enjoy world-class diving locations, such as the ship graveyard of Abu Nuhas (at only an hour away by boat), the legendary SS Thistlegorm and the tekkies' Paradise of the SS Rosalie Muller, plus many other secluded coral gardens teeming with life and colors.
All six top-class diving centers in town offer a complete range of courses of internationally recognized agencies such as PADI and TDI for beginners and professionals, both in recreational and technical diving. Facilities for rebreathers and underwater photographing and video shooting are also, available.
All El Gouna diving centers show great respect and high commitment to environmental welfare, high quality service and security of divers.
