Small Giftun

It is possible to do various dives around it, but the most interesting of all is the drift dive. The drift starts above a deep wall just behind the police station building that is located on the island. We swim (sometimes really fly) with the current at an optimal maximum depth of between 27-30 meters, viewing huge gorgonian fans growing from the wall along the way. It is possible to see really big napoleons, groupers or tuna fishing above the drop-off. Subsequently, we will cross in our direction an unfolding plateau overgrown with large hard and fire corals and we will reach the wall of the main reef, which is also colorful and rugged, full of underwater life. There is no doubt that this is one of the most interesting dives in Hurghada. A little further than we would drift, there is a location called Erg Somaya, it is possible to anchor here only in good weather and there are often strong currents, but the location is worth it. Right below the ship, the reef falls into the depths and at 30 meters you will find a tower – a chimney full of soft corals, and then at a depth of about 10 meters another tower surrounded by red sea anthiases. The entire reef is full of various types of corals and fish, and turtles are often seen.
