Reader Reviews:

Dive Site: Marsa Asalaya

Location: Marsa Alam

Description: Reef

Depth: 20 - 30 metres on average (65 - 100 feet)

Visibility: 20 metres (65 feet)

Rating: ****

Nice dive site, starts from the shore of this shallow bay. In the shallow parts of this bay the visibility can be a little bit disappointing but this will soon get better as the bay gets deeper. The north site of this bay seems to be the best with nice coral structures. Nudibranchs can almost always been seen at this site. We saw two pyjama slugs. We also encountered a Napoleonfish, a giant moray, blue bar trevallies, batfish, cigar wrasse and a nice grouper... Great place for an easy dive.
