Abu Ghusun

Abu Ghusun is a coastal town in the Red Sea region of Egypt. While the area is known for its access to the wider Red Sea and nearby dive havens, Abu Ghusun itself is not a major dive hub. The local diving scene consists of a few centers that serve day trips to nearby reefs and walls along the Red Sea coast. Divers typically come here as a gateway to better-known sites along the region, rather than for site-specific diving within the town itself. Conditions are typical of the central Red Sea: warm, clear water with reef-fish, occasional turtles, and diverse marine life reaching to deeper walls a short boat ride away.
