TORFA BEN EI GEBEL
Egypte
3 Log Reports
Easy dive site
Ben El Gebel means ‘between two mountains’. The site is located between Big and Small Giftun. Let the boat drop you of to the North. You can make a great drift dive with the chance to spot eagle rays and sharks. On the west side of the reef you have three pinnacles (ergs). The most northern pinnacle is interesting because of the beautiful gorgonians that grow there. Another option is to dive around the fifth coral pinnacle, at the end of the reef.
Particulars
This dive is shallow, making all the colors come out beautifully and long dive times are possible.
Warnings
Do not make physical contact with marine life.
