Careless Reef

FOTW recommend Careless as the best dive in Hurghada. The reef sits on the edge of a big drop off and of all the Hurghada reefs is furthest from the Coast. Subject to reasonable strong currents it consequently teems with fish. It is also one of the least visited reefs in Hurghada.
Morrings to the south of the Eastern of two large pinnacles, reaching to about 3 metres from the surfaces provide a sheltered starting point to explore an expansive coral garden to the East of the pinnacle at around 18m. Push further east and north and the gentle sloping coral garden mets the drop off. Follow this on your right and you are lead to the northern most tip of the second pinnacle. Once you have had your fill of this a 50 metre swim across a sandy bottom takes you back to the first pinnacle where you can de-gas and explore the reef unitl your air runs out. Top dive.....
