Discover a Classic Giftun Reef Experience in Hurghada
Police Station Reef is one of those dive sites that rewards guests who want a little more variety in their Scuba Diving experience. Rather than offering only one simple reef profile, the site is often described through a combination of reef wall, plateau, coral gardens, and open-water views. This gives the dive more shape and keeps the route interesting from start to finish. For guests visiting Hurghada, it is exactly the kind of site that adds depth and character to a Red Sea diving holiday.
The reef is closely linked with the Small Giftun side of the Giftun area and is commonly explored by boat from Hurghada. Some routes begin near a wall and then move over a broader plateau section, while current on the day may turn the dive into a more natural drift. Coral gardens and gorgonian fans add visual beauty, and the structure of the site means divers can enjoy both reef detail and the more open feeling of blue water nearby. This balance is one of the reasons the site continues to attract attention from divers looking for more than a basic local reef.
Many guests staying at Desert Rose Hotel and nearby resort zones choose Police Station Reef as part of a wider diving holiday in Hurghada. It works especially well in a schedule that also includes Dolphin House, Elphinstone Reef, Salem Express, and a memorable Night Dive. That combination allows guests to experience calm reef beauty, drift-style diving, offshore adventure, wreck history, and the different atmosphere of diving after sunset, all within the same holiday.
What Makes Police Station Reef So Special
Wall and Plateau Routes
Police Station Reef is appreciated for dives that combine wall structure with plateau exploration, giving the route more variety and visual interest.
Coral Gardens and Gorgonians
The site is known for attractive coral gardens and fan corals that add colour, movement, and the unmistakable beauty of the Red Sea.
Current and Fish Activity
When current is present, the reef can feel especially lively, with stronger fish movement and a more energetic diving atmosphere.
A Dive Site with Character and Variety
One of the biggest strengths of Police Station Reef is that it offers a site profile that feels varied rather than repetitive. Divers may move from steeper reef sections to broader areas of plateau, with coral formations and fish life changing along the way. This helps the dive feel progressive and keeps guests engaged from beginning to end. It is especially attractive for those who enjoy a route where scenery changes naturally during the dive.
The marine life and atmosphere can become even more interesting when current is present. Fish tend to gather more actively around parts of the reef, and the open blue-water side adds a stronger sense of depth and movement. For guests looking for beautiful but slightly more dynamic Scuba Diving in Hurghada, Police Station Reef is a very rewarding option.

Combine Police Station Reef with Other Famous Hurghada Experiences
One of the biggest advantages of diving in Hurghada is how many different styles of underwater experience can be combined within one holiday. Police Station Reef works especially well in a mixed itinerary because it adds a reef-and-plateau profile with drift potential to your schedule. Guests often combine it with Dolphin House for a more relaxed and dolphin-focused day, or with Elphinstone Reef when they want an even more advanced offshore challenge.
Others may also include Salem Express for the atmosphere of wreck exploration and underwater history, while a later Night Dive brings a completely different perspective on reef life. When these trips are combined well, the holiday becomes much richer. You enjoy calm reefs, plateau-and-wall diving, famous excursions, wreck history, and night-time marine life all within the same destination.
With Red Sea Life Diving Center, we can help organise this type of programme in a smooth and practical way. Whether you want a balanced itinerary or a more adventurous diving holiday, we tailor the experience to your certification level, your interests, and your holiday dates.
