Gota Abu Ramada
Also known as: The Aquarium
Nicknamed 'The Aquarium' for good reason — the densest, most riotous fish life of any easy reef in the Hurghada area. The first dive every visiting photographer asks for.

If you only have time for one easy dive in Hurghada, make it this one. The fish density is the kind of thing photographers dream about — anthias in pink and orange clouds so thick you sometimes lose sight of your buddy in them. There's a famous swim-through at 8 m, a resident moray eel the size of a python, and enough macro to fill a memory card without straying from a single coral head.
