About this site
Catalog

Siyul Kebira is a small low-lying island around 90 minutes north of El Gouna, dived at its sheltered northeast corner over a sandy bottom where leopard sharks sometimes rest. The highlight is a small soft-coral pinnacle at the turning point swarming with thousands of glassfish, moray eels and lionfish. The return to the boat feels like swimming through a living aquarium.
