Reef Shaab Marsa Alam

Shaab Marsa Alam Reef
Egypt, Marsa Alam
A large isolated barrier reef located 5 km from the coast opposite Marsa Alam. The reef is elongated from the northwest to the southeast (almost parallel to the coastline) and has a rather complex configuration. The length of the reef is about 300 m, the width is up to 60 m, in the southern part the thickening is up to 100 m. Several large detached reefs adjoin the reef from the west, south and east. The entire outer side of the southern thickening of the reef, facing the open sea, is formed from powerful mountainous coral blocks rising from a depth of 20 m to a depth of 4 - 6 m from the surface. Between the blocks that form a kind of coral garden in the near-bottom part - sections of the sandy bottom at a depth of 25-28 m, the northern part of the coral garden turns into a sandy alley, at the end of the alley - a very large colony of Gorgasii eels. This whole area has an area of ​​approximately 100 by 100 m.

Shaab Sharm The excursion was taken in the diving center of the Shams Alam 4 * hotel. We went snorkeling with divers on a yacht right from the hotel's pontoon. Why haven't we done this before? It is very comfortable. Shaab Sharm is a separate island of volcanic origin (according to legend), located eight kilometers east of Marsa Alam. The northern and southern parts of the island are vertical walls descending to a depth of 50-75 meters. Very beautiful corals. At depth we saw Napoleons, a shark, a huge moray eel, tuna and many other living creatures.
