Manta Point

★★★★★ (4,750)

This dive site is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from El Gouna to the northeast. The reef is the extension of the Dolphin House Reef to the north. It has a nicely sloping coral garden and is easy. Usually there is a slight current, making this a drift dive. There is a good possibility to see rays and dolphins, and definitely mantas in the summer season.

Clown fish, puffer fish, flute fish, scorpion fish, stone fish, crocodile fish, octopus, stingrays, eagle rays, dolphins, and mantas.
