Carless reef diving site

This guide to the Carless reef dive site off Hurghada opens with a graveyard of bleached coral, wreckage left after a swarm of crown-of-thorns starfish devastated the reef in the early 1990s. You'll hear why dive boats stopped coming, and how years without a single fin kicking the rubble let the reef begin rebuilding itself. It follows that recovery, still visibly in progress today, across the two pinnacles that give the site its shape.
