Dive-site story
Marsa Mubarak is a sheltered bay south of Port Ghalib along the Egyptian Red Sea coast. Seagrass meadows carpet the sandy floor, flanked on both sides by fringing coral reefs. Resident green sea turtles and roving dugongs graze undisturbed across the shallows, while the flanking walls shelter macro life and regional reef species.
Reliable encounters with grazing green sea turtles accompanied by remoras
Occasional sightings of a resident dugong feeding in the seagrass meadow
Sheltered reef walls holding moray eels, scorpionfish, and anthias
Gentle water conditions suited to training dives and underwater photography
