About this site
A wide sheltered bay 11 km north of Marsa Alam, fronted by seagrass meadows and a healthy fringing reef on both arms. Green turtles browse the seagrass year-round; dugong sightings are seasonal but possible (typically Oct–Apr). The east arm is the more interesting dive, with crocodilefish hidden on the sand and small caves at 18–22 m. Calm conditions and easy walk-in entry make Marsa Egla one of the best near-town training sites that still rewards experienced divers with quality marine life.
Highlights
- Resident green turtles on the seagrass beds
- Possible dugong sightings Oct–Apr
- Easy shore entry, 11 km from town
- Crocodilefish and stonefish on the sandy stretches

Przepiękne rafy, dużo rybek, płaszczki, nawet zdarzają się żółwie. My osobiście widzieliśmy OGROMNĄ rybę zwaną baracudą. Woda spokojna, warto się tam wybrać zarówno na snoorkowanie jak i nurkowanie!
