Dive-site story
Located in the Soma Bay and Safaga area, Tobia Soraya features a cluster of distinct coral pinnacles rising from a flat sandy seabed. Divers navigate between these ergs, inspecting the hard coral formations and soft coral overhangs that shelter diverse reef critters. The sandy channels between the pinnacles often hide bottom-dwellers, while schooling fish hover in the sunlit upper sections.
Multiple coral pinnacles rising from a shallow sandy floor
