Dive-site story
Situated within the Safaga reef system, Tobia Hamra features a sloping hard coral garden alongside isolated coral pinnacles rooted in a pale sandy seabed. Gentle drift profiles along the main reef wall allow divers to inspect crevices housing crustaceans before exploring the surrounding ergs. The site is largely sheltered from heavy swells, making it a reliable destination throughout the year.
Multiple coral pinnacles rising from the sandy floor covered in glassfish and anthias
Extensive formations of hard acropora table corals and brain corals
Sheltered conditions suitable for extended bottom time and relaxed navigation
