About this dive site

This dive site offers a relaxing drift dive between Moray Garden and Golden Blocks, two popular dive sites near El Gouna, Egypt. The dive is characterized by its easy shore access at both entry points, allowing divers to choose their preferred route and enjoy a relatively effortless underwater journey. The dive path follows a natural current, making it an ideal option for beginners and those seeking a tranquil underwater experience. There is no known specific historical information regarding the naming or origin of this specific drift dive route.

The underwater landscape is teeming with vibrant marine life. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of fish species, including anemonefish, butterflyfish, fusiliers, travellies, and the captivating moray eels. Bluespotted stingrays also grace the seabed, adding to the site's biodiversity. The coral formations, though perhaps not as extensive as in some other Egyptian sites, contribute to a pleasing underwater scenery, ideal for both macro and wide-angle photography.

The best time to visit is during the warmer months, from April to October, when water temperatures are most comfortable and visibility is usually excellent. This period offers the most favorable conditions for both scuba diving and freediving. Divers and freedivers should be aware of potential mild currents, especially during certain times of the day, and should always dive with a buddy and be mindful of their limits, especially if they are less experienced.
