Mashraba

About this dive site

Explore the water around Egypt

At the southern end of Dahab bay is “Mashraba” reef. Often overlooked as a dive site, it seems to throw up more surprises than other dive sites. The sandy slope leads to a magnificent “bommie” called Roman’s rock, heading south we pass over some impressive formations before coming to a “family” of beautiful table corals at around 20 meters. Air permitting, you can continue on to an impressive gorgonian fan, before turning at a pinnacle swarming with glass fish and antheas, and then returning along the shallow reef.
