Boat-access reef near Hurghada with a long run from El Gouna, a shallow top, soft coral on the south plateau, and a driftable north wall; plan for exposed weather and strong currents.
About Blind Reef
Blind Reef is an exposed Red Sea reef near Hurghada, reached after a long boat run from El Gouna. A shallow top and more popular south plateau lead into a deeper north wall that suits drift diving. Expect strong current potential, open-water weather exposure, and a site that rewards experienced boat divers more than casual sightseeing. Soft coral and mixed reef life are the draw, not a sheltered easy-entry profile.

Scuba Diving
The north wall is described as good for drift diving; the south plateau offers soft-coral diving around 20 m.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target. The depth, current, and boat logistics make scuba the better fit.
