Because currents can pick up at this site, brief with your guide on the current direction before you descend and plan your dive to work with it rather than against it. A boat entry means your surface interval and exit are managed by your dive operator, so confirm pick-up signals clearly before you drop in.
The diving center is located close to the center of Hurghada, next to the sea. The boat leaves every day around 8:30 - 9:00 in the morning.
