Sha'ab Abu Ramada

Beutiful and easily dived reef with divesites on both east and west side. Nice corals on both sides (south is anchor place and not so nice). Hugh brain corals on the east side, turtles and schoals of goat fish and baby barracudas. 
West side has two pinacles and sometimes eagle rays passing by on the outer side of the pinacles. Look out for agressive triggerfish in September. 

This is a nice place, but unfortunately too popular and too close to the big resorts in south Hurghada. Do not try to go here in August or September, here is more divers than fish. Stormy days and wintertime is better.
