Marsa Abu Galawa

Marsa Abu Galawa is the lagoon site of the Abu Galawa reef group. A mostly sandy, shallow flat with garden eels leads to a coral garden at the edge of the drop-off, and a deeper wall lies beyond. Seahorses hide in the seagrass, and a school of batfish is often under the boats. Moray eels, bluespotted rays and occasionally turtles are seen. The calm conditions make it suitable for long relaxed dives and night dives.
