Sharm El Arab

The boat moors inside a wide lagoon with sand and seagrass, a calm area used for first dives and training. The coral-covered wall starts directly below the mooring, runs from about 20 to 40 m and leads out to a plateau at about 18 to 28 m with the largest table corals of the site. Green turtles feed in the bay and are seen very often, and barracuda patrol the plateau. On the outer wall eagle rays are a regular sight, and surgeonfish and sea snails live on the coral.
