Aruk Gotat Abu Ramada Dive Site

The Aruk Gotat Abu Ramada Dive Site is one of the most iconic diving locations in the Hurghada region, widely known as “The Aquarium” due to its exceptional diversity and abundance of marine life. Located about an hour south of Hurghada by boat, this medium-sized, oval-shaped reef is surrounded by a shallow and flat sandy seabed, providing excellent visibility and ideal conditions for divers of all experience levels. Depths range from 12 to 20 meters, offering a perfect balance between easy exploration and deeper areas full of activity.

The site is home to an impressive variety of species. Schools of sergeant majors, fusiliers, and goatfish swirl around the reef, while parrotfish, butterflyfish, and wrasses glide between the coral blocks. The sandy sections are often visited by blue-spotted stingrays, garden eels, and juvenile fish seeking shelter.

With its vibrant life, calm conditions, and beautifully illuminated reef structure, Aruk Gotat Abu Ramada remains a favorite for photographers, beginners, and seasoned divers seeking a colorful and dynamic underwater experience.
