For the first time in Mars Alami. We rode on coral, dugong and Luxor. Transfer from Hurghada 3.5 hours, long but not exhausting. We waited for the room near the hotel for about an hour. The hotel is beautiful, the area is large and well-groomed. The training of the staff is felt: unobtrusive, polite, quickly resolve any issues. It's nice to see how Egyptians work: ) Everyone speaks English. Free Wi-Fi is available in the lobby. Most vacationers are Germans, many Poles are Italians. Fed almost continuously, tasty and high quality, for whom it is important - will not regret. Rooms are all with balconies or terraces, like the ground floor. Daily cleaning, quick drinks, help on the beach does not depend on tips, but remember, this is their income… Coral reef is specific, not like in Sharm or Taba.
After the shallow littoral, which can not be walked, a sharp abyss of 10-15 meters, or even just a blue abyss.
Fish huddle on an almost steep coral wall, the narrow boundary between the high seas and the littoral. Water +28. Turtles swam daily, but relatively small. Huge turtles and dugongs traveled to the neighboring bays, Mubarak and Abu Dabab. There are large moray eels, once even saw a manta ray and grouper, the size of a dolphin. On the shores of Port Galib Bay near three hotels. Two have their own pontoons, and the third, near the bay, has a sandy sunset, and there are never waves and wind, always a green flag and many divers. You can enter the sea from the pontoons from 08.00, although dawn at 05.30. Because the wall of corals is vertical, after lunch the sun is no longer at depth, only in the bay itself. The green flag for 2 weeks on the pontoons for two weeks was only one day - waves of varying strength for an hour.

On the farther from the bay, almost half an hour with a red flag, when you can not go near the water.
The nearest pontoon to the bay is mostly with a yellow flag, when you can come in, but at your discretion. In principle, it did not live long. To the left of the shore from the hotels there is another small bay. It is a 10-minute walk to it, and it only makes sense to go high tide, because it is difficult to get to the depths. In Port Galib there are several diving centers, boats come out of the bay to dive points. In principle, I liked everything, the only drawback, little time.
