Dive-site story
Tobia Island sits in the bay of Safaga, surrounded by a shallow fringing reef that transitions into a sandy bottom peppered with standalone coral pinnacles. Divers often drift along the sheltered reef wall before exploring the open sand patches where benthic marine life feeds in the shallows.
Scattered coral pinnacles covered in anthias and glassfish
Expansive sandy slopes where rays often forage
Sheltered conditions suitable for relaxed second dives and training
