“This was advertised as a two hour dive, “the only quick dive in Hurghada”, but the trip took 9 hours. The diving was great and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable but I was expecting a short trip without any extras so I could still have the rest of my day to do something else. So just be aware you will not be on a two hour dive like the listing advertised.”
