Small Giftun Island Liveaboard Dive Site

Small Giftun Island is a reef dive in Hurghada, Egypt, within an area known for island reefs, coral gardens and wrecks. The precise entry point and route depend on current, weather and the cruise director’s assessment, so an itinerary reference should not be treated as a guarantee that every departure will dive the site.

The most productive side of the reef changes with the water movement. Divers should remain close to the guide, control their depth and be prepared for a negative entry or blue-water pickup where the briefing requires it.

A liveaboard is the practical way to combine this site with several dives across Hurghada. Carry a surface marker buoy, follow the boat’s current and pickup procedures and use nitrox only when qualified and after analysing the cylinder. Wildlife encounters and visibility vary naturally and cannot be guaranteed.

Other sites in this part of the itinerary include Shaab El Erg and Carless Reef. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The Small Giftun Island dive site is currently visited by one featured dive liveaboard, Bismarck Liveaboard and prices starting from £122.00.

This boat has 17 cabins, accommodates up to 34 guests, and is 46 m in length.

To dive this site, the minimum diver certification is Open Water Diver, and you are required to have minimum 20 logged dives.
