About this site
Catalog

The sheltered seagrass bay south of Nuweiba's port is a tranquil shallow dive over a vast meadow of green seagrass fringed by sand. Green turtles graze the grass, while seahorses, pipefish, juvenile reef fish and the occasional ray hide among the blades. With minimal current and gentle depth, it is a peaceful macro and night-dive haven.
