Orca Dive Club Soma Bay

This dive site is shallow to over 30m with little current, therefore, it is suitable for beginner divers. Because the coral garden is shallow, it is also a very nice place for snorkeling.

Housereef, directly in front of the dive center, very easy to reach with shuttle and great helpful staff. A little windy and also swell belong here with changing currents.

The Somabay headland forms the northern end of Safaga Bay. The “Ras“ (head), is a steep wall that ends in the south on a 25m deep plateau, main current direction is coming from the north. On the plateau you can find ancient table corals up to 4m in size, and a steep wall.

Suitable for the first dives of a beginner course and Try Scuba, partly also in use of swimmers and aqua courses, maximum depth 1.60m.

Entrance: beach/ shore, depth up to 12m, after approx. 180m relaxed from the beach, well suited for Scuba Skills Updates and Try Scuba.

TOBIA ARBAA Tobia Arbaa is a 12 minute speedboat ride from our base. This dive site is also known as the Seven Pillars. On a shallow sandy bottom, five main peaks lead to a south slope where the boats are moored. This is the ultimate dive site for photographers and videographers. Napoleon wrasses pose enthusiastically in front of the wide angle and nudibranchs are models for the macro lens. Lionfish and jacks chasing schools of silversides and soft coral covered overhangs veiled by anthias and glassfish will make you feel like a professional photographer. A turtle can also often be found here.
