Dive-site story
Rising from a sandy seabed in the sheltered waters of Safaga, Tobia Arbaa features several distinct coral pinnacles clustered together. Divers weave between these vertical towers, exploring soft coral coats, overhangs, and swim-throughs. The sandy bottom between the columns serves as a nursery and refuge for benthic species, while dense schools of sweepers hover inside shaded cavities.
