Marsa Shagra House Reef

★★★★☆ (17,896)

Marsa Shagara is a bay with an easy sand bottom entrance that leads to South or North reef dives. The depth starts at 1m and drops to 40m + outside the bay. It is one of the most pristine house reef dives in the south. This dive is great for entry level and experienced divers.

On an early morning dive do not be surprised to see dolphins. The dive site is also rich in common red sea fish species.
