About this site
Catalog

Bannerfish Bay sits in the heart of Dahab's Mashraba seafront, a sheltered sandy bay named for the shoals of bannerfish that drift over its coral patches. The calm, shallow water and easy entry make it a favourite for training, refreshers and gentle night dives, with octopus, scorpionfish and pufferfish among the residents. Two coral ridges enclose the bay and slope gently into deeper water.
