QULA' AN EILANDEN
Egypte
The Qula'an Islands are a beautiful diving area, but because they are located north of the port of Hamata and South of the Fury Shoals reef system, they are often forgotten. They also have the reputation just for snorkelers. Still, you can make beautiful dives at the Qula'an Islands. The boat anchors at the top of a beautiful pinnacle, which is overgrown with soft corals and anthias. It is so beautiful that underwater photographers stay here and don’t even explore any further.
Particulars
Anyone who wants more, can move to the sides and channels of the reef. Where you'll be surprised by eagle rays, napoleons and all kinds of interesting macro life such as shrimp and slugs. The dive sites here are relatively shallow, the best part is no deeper than 15 meters. Because the islands are close to the marina they are a perfect place for a third dive on the way back from the Fury Shoals.
