TL;DR
Dugongs are regularly spotted in a specific bay near Hurghada, and many divers book several nights there just to see it again. For first-timers, the reefs right off Hurghada already offer plenty of fish without traveling further.
One traveler was so charmed by seeing a dugong that she booked several more nights in the same bay just to see it again.
Despite someone trying to scare him off, one traveler ignored the warnings and went snorkeling/diving the next day anyway — turned out fine.
An experienced diver said he dives multiple times per trip, but noted that even for a first dive, the fish right off Hurghada are already impressive — no need to travel far.
