Marsa Egla

This is a very simple site and when I was there, the viz was about 5 meters and no current. This would a great training site, but the only concern would be the lack go good viz might scare some beginners. This site has two parts to it. The main part is a grassy, sandy bottom that has relatively poor visibility. The life of this portion of the site is from visitors, mostly turtles and a Dugong. I had the pleasure to dive this site at the right time. First dive, saw 2 turtles and a Dugong. It was nice. The second dive, the same Dugong was still there feeding, saw a couple of turtles again, but also a Seahorse swimming by. The second portion of the site is about 30 meters South (it could be defined as a different site), but it was full of hard coral in stages and different levels. Saw two baby sharks laying low under some hard coral. If you dive this site, and I suggest you do, is to start with the main section and if no animals are present, then go south to the reef.
