Altogether there are 8 accredited dive schools in El Gouna, two of which are located at Abu Tig Marina. The closest is at The Turtle's Inn and the other between the 2 Ocean View Hotel buildings. All levels of diving are catered for from basic training through to advanced technical dives. The quality of the reef is said to be surpassed only by the Great Barrier Reef. The area is also renowned for wreck diving such as the Thistlegorm. The BBC 'Holiday' programme has featured learning to dive in El Gouna. If there are members of your party who don't wish to dive, they are able to join you either to snorkel or just to take the boat trip. An excellent lunch is served on full day trips. |

Go on a fishing trip........... Brik took us out in his boat from Abydos Marina (out past Club Med) We weren't actually fishing ourselves, but the two lines he had running all day from the back of the boat did well...... ......including this impressively sized barracuda. Meanwhile we sat in the back of the boat, lapped up the sunshine, went for a swim off an island we landed on, and had lunch on the way back |

For the adventurous................. ................you can try your hand at kiteboarding Situated on Mangroovy beach, there is a well-equipped kite surf school with qualified instruction. There is a large shallow area (useful for beginners) and a boat on standby in case you get stuck too far out. Trips can be arranged to try out kite surfing at a nearby island. El Gouna has wind throughout the year (less so in October and early November), and is one of the few places where there is both excellent diving an kite surfing in one location.. |
