Abu Nuhas

# Abu Nuhas Dive Site

Abu Nuhas, located near Shadwan Island in Qesm Hurghada, Red Sea, is a premier wreck diving destination in Egypt. This shallow reef and wreck site offers depths ranging from 5 to 25 meters, making it accessible for intermediate divers and above.

The site features multiple shipwrecks scattered across the reef, including cargo vessels that have become artificial reefs teeming with marine life. Divers explore intricate wreck structures, colorful coral formations, and sandy bottom sections. The nutrient-rich waters support abundant biodiversity including groupers, snappers, barracudas, moray eels, and occasionally larger pelagic species.

Vibrant hard and soft corals blanket the structures and reef areas, creating stunning visual encounters. The calm conditions typical of this area make it ideal for underwater photography and navigation around the wrecks.

Abu Nuhas is perfect for divers seeking wreck exploration combined with healthy reef ecosystems. While the site presents moderate difficulty due to wreck penetration risks, the manageable depths and visible conditions make it rewarding for those with proper training and experience.
