About this dive site
Red Sea reefs and seagrass where dugong and turtles feed.
Abu Dabbab and Marsa Alam’s southern bays mix fringing reef with seagrass beds where dugong, turtles and eagle rays forage when calm. House reefs suit relaxed profiles; Elphinstone and offshore sites add pelagic sharks on liveaboard or day-boat extras. Respect wildlife distance and local access rules.
Most trips target March - November, but wind, swell and current still decide the day's site. Calendar peak is March - November, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Marsa Alam day to day, not just the map pin.
