About this site

Mangrove Bay is among the oldest known dive sites north of Marsa Alam and a perennial favourite for all certification levels. A sheltered bay with very healthy hard coral and easy shore entry leads to a gently sloping reef alive with anthias, butterflyfish and the occasional turtle. The calm conditions and abundant marine life also make it a superb training and snorkelling site.
