Plongée à Hurghada — Egypt
Hurghada is the Red Sea's dive factory — high-volume, affordable, and incredibly accessible with direct charter flights from Europe. Giftun Island's protected reefs deliver reliable encounters in crystal visibility, while the town serves as a launchpad for liveaboards south to the Brothers and Daedalus. Quality varies wildly between operators, so research carefully.
