#1 - Laguna Reef
Egypt, Strait of Tiran
Nice lagoon, with napoleon fish and maray eels. Perfect for night dives.
East side of the Tiran Straits, on Tiran Island. This large lagoon offers a great protection for the night.
Laguna Reef is also known as Marsa Shabir.
#2 - Al Buhairat
Saudi Arabia, Makkah
The dive site is special regarding the visibility and coral reef as well as reef fish. The most important thing about it is that access is free of charge, just bring your diving gear and your buddy then dive.
The access to the dive site is relatively easy, but I recommend having a partner who visited the area before. The area is enclosed by big walls, but you'll find an opening in the wall that can be used to pass by car to the shore line. Once you're in the water, just head to the openwater (to the west) and dive when the depth reaches 3-5 meters. The walk there might be difficult as there are a lot of coral reef formations reaching to the surface.
Al Buhairat is also known as North Obhur free access.
