Abu Ramada North is a boat-access reef and wall dive in Hurghada.
Abu Ramada North is a boat-access Red Sea reef off Hurghada with a broad coral plateau, a steep wall, and current-led diving that rewards good buoyancy and drift awareness. The site is known for gorgonians, bannerfish, sweetlips, stingrays, moray eels, and the chance of larger fish moving through the blue. It works best as a measured boat dive rather than a casual reef stop.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Treat it as a drift wall dive and keep buoyancy tight on the wall. Current and pickup planning are part of the site.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only, and the site is best handled as a guided drift or wall dive. It is not a casual shore site.
Legal Notes
Follow the boat plan and guide pickup route. Keep drift and ascent protocols tight because the wall and current are part of the site.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for boat divers who are comfortable with drift or wall profiles. Expect a route that may start on the plateau and follow the wall, with possible pelagic sightings in the blue.
Freediving
Not a freedive site. The depth and current make scuba the practical choice.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling site. The depth, current, and wall profile make surface use impractical.
