Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Safaga, Tobia Kebir consists of a main reef accompanied by a chain of coral pillars rising from a flat sandy plateau. The layout encourages slow circumnavigation of the pinnacles, where reef fish shelter under overhangs and massive Porites coral formations thrive in calm water.
Series of coral pillars and massive Porites blocks rising from a sandy seabed
Schools of glassfish sheltering inside crevices and beneath overhangs
Frequent encounters with blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels along the reef base
