Water temperature usually ranges from about 22\u00b0C in winter to 29\u00b0C in late summer, so you stay comfortable in a standard wetsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Visibility often reaches 20 to 30 metres, which helps new divers stay relaxed and oriented. Many reefs near Hurghada start just a few metres below the surface, so you can see coral gardens, clownfish and parrotfish without going deep.<\/p>\n<p>Currents at the beginner sites are usually mild, and boats moor in sheltered spots. That means short swims, easy entries and more time enjoying the reef. Want more reasons?
