Named spots worth knowing
Featured dive sites
Curated El Gouna Red Sea dive sites that are El Gouna house reefs or standard day-trip dive sites departing from El Gouna marinas. Each item carries a verifiable source. ALL coords are intentionally null: these reefs and wrecks lie offshore in the Red Sea / Strait of Gubal, beyond the El Gouna town bbox (27.3-27.5 N / 33.6-33.85 E), so a real coordinate would fall outside bbox. Per truth-policy we never clamp or fabricate. For a map, lane3 should pin the in-bbox departure marina (e.g. Abu Tig Marina ~27.408,33.677) or use a wider Red-Sea bbox specifically for the dive-map (see index.json lane3_seam_note). Enrichment fields (dive_type/difficulty/marine_life/depth_m_max) are OPTIONAL and added only where the fact is structural or already stated in the item's own source-summary; null/omitted where unverified (truth-policy).
