Dive-site story
Siyul Kebira lies in the northern Red Sea near the mouth of the Strait of Gubal. The island is encircled by a fringing reef system featuring sweeping hard coral gardens, scattered pinnacles, and sandy plateaus. Divers typically drift along the reef wall, exploring coral bommies covered in soft corals where scorpionfish and morays shelter.
Extensive hard coral gardens featuring massive table corals and porites formations
Scattered pinnacles that shelter juvenile reef fish and macro subjects like frogfish
Chance encounters with pods of bottlenose dolphins cruising the channel
