At Chloe&#8217;s Diving Center, you can add El Mina as an extra third dive for \u20ac35.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Famous_Red_Sea_Wrecks_Reachable_from_Hurghada\"><\/span><b>Famous Red Sea Wrecks Reachable from Hurghada<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond El Mina, Hurghada gives access to some of the Red Sea&#8217;s most legendary wrecks.
