Best for advanced divers, 12-18m, boat entry, strong current.
Aquarium is a boat-access reef dive in Egypt defined by its strong currents. Divers typically explore between 12 and 18 metres, with visibility ranging from 10 to 30 metres. Due to the shifting intensity and direction of the currents, this site is suited for advanced divers. The reef features sharp coral and rocks, requiring careful buoyancy control to avoid contact with the substrate during descent and throughout the dive. Guided tours are available and recommended to navigate the current patterns effectively. Night diving is also possible at this location, offering a different perspective of the reef structure.
