About Abu Hamra

Abu Hamra is a shore-entry Red Sea dive that starts over the reef top and moves through an overhead tunnel before opening onto boulders and soft coral slopes. The route is tighter than a simple open reef entry because the passage has a small exit opening and current can show up inside it. It suits divers who plan the dive as a controlled, advanced reef transit with careful buoyancy, spacing, and exit awareness.
