Marsa Murena

Also known as: Marsa Morena · Marsa Murain · Marsa Moray · Marsa Murein

The narrow entrance, marked by a descent line or rope, can only be used in good weather. Past the channel the bay opens onto sand and a small sloping seagrass patch, with reefs of hard and soft coral cut by small canyons on both sides. Crocodilefish, scorpionfish, stonefish and nudibranchs hide on the bottom, and turtles and occasionally a dugong visit the seagrass. The north side carries many fire corals, and the south side leads to coral blocks with cleaning stations. Boats from Port Ghalib also dive the outer reef and a lagoon to the north.
