Wild reefs, dugongs, dolphins, and turtles
Marsa Alam Diving
Marsa Alam is further south and known for its wild reefs and special marine life. Divers come for dugongs and green turtles at Abu Dabbab and Marsa Mubarak, and for spinner dolphins at Sataya and Shaab Samadai. It is a good choice for divers who want quieter sites and a chance to meet rare animals.
