About this site
Catalog

Marsa Shouna is the sheltered bay just south of Marsa Mubarak, offering fine, easy diving along coral fingers that flank the entry channel. The reefs are rich with hard and soft corals, anthias clouds and macro life including seahorses, frogfish and nudibranchs. Calm, shallow conditions make it a reliable choice for night dives and beginners.
