Falfulea

This is a not so well known dive site off the north tip of Grand Giftun island.  It's a small horseshoe reef with a shallow swim through to a bowel reef that is absolutely filled with fish and coral.  This was the most like swimming in an aquarium that I have found and one of my favorite dives.

Torfa Fanous West

One of the nicest drifts in Hurghada. Beautiful hard coral and one of the best places to spot sharks and Napoleon fish in Hurghada. 
The current can be anything from mild to horrible, so this is not a site for beginners. Good for the rest of us, though, as you seldom find more than one or two groups of divers there.
