A slow motor pushes the boat away from Hurghada’s harbor and the Red Sea opens like a stubborn, glittering invitation. Salt air stings the eyes; the deck hums with tank valves and the low chatter of divers. The day centers on two guided shallow dives, each around 7–8 meters and roughly 15 minutes of bottom time, with breaks on the water to drift, snack, and study the reef.
