Amazing diving, with chances to see sharks and rays as well as a nice reef wall. Also sometimes possible to go up the lighthouse which is a great experience.

Om dette sted
Et naesten cirkelrundt forliggende rev omkring 80 km ost for Marsa Alam, markeret af et egyptisk fyrtaarn fra det 19. aarhundrede, der stadig er i drift i dag. Kan kun naas via dykkerbaad (typisk en 4-6 timers overfart over aabent hav). Revet falder lodret paa alle sider ned i 700 m+ aabent vand, hvilket er det, der bringer de store dyr taet paa: bueformede hammerhajer om sommeren, raevehajer om foraaret og hvidtippede oceanhajer hele aaret paa det sydostlige plateau. Strommene er staerke og uforudsigelige - Advanced-certificering, stromerfaring og en overflademarkeringsboje er obligatoriske.

Beautiful lighthouse. Thanks to the weather we were able to dock and have an excursion! We stayed there for one full day of diving, saw sharks and coral walls are beautiful as well. Lighthouse workers were friendly l, you can buy cap and T-shirts-don’t forget to negotiate the price!

Amazing dives with longimanus, hammerhead and silky sharks. Also saw an oceanic manta and many turtles. Top notch dive site, hoping to come back soon!

Beautiful place, I didn’t have the chance to see the hammerhead sharks but we had part of few Oceanic WhiteTip Sharks and many more other things. Huge population of anemones and clownfish, formation of massive coral growth.
