SHA'AB MARSA ALAM
Egypte
Sha'ab Marsa Alam is shaped like a horseshoe, with a central lagoon and various pillars on the east side. The pillars are covered with an abundance of soft corals that attract many species of reef fish, such as moray eels and lionfish. The northern wall is exposed to the waves and currents, but it is full of life. Sha'ab Marsa Alam can be reached by boat from the port of Marsa Alam or from one of the hotels in this area.
Particulars
You can find beautiful, varied diving here. Depending on your skills you can choose a dive without current in the middle of the lagoon or a drift dive on the north side.
Warnings
Strong currents on the north side.
