Scuba Diving in the Red Sea

Dive Site: Big Gubal Island

Location: 27°35'32"N; 33°46'40"E

Description: Reef / drift

Depth: 30 metres (100 feet)

Visibility: 40 metres (130 feet)

Rating: ****

Entry takes you straight to a sand eel garden, which you must approach with care in order to prevent the eels hiding under the sand. There is a lot of life here including thousands of tiny fish in the water near the reef, octopus, clownfish, parrotfish, and butterflyfish. This is a very pretty dive.

Reader Reviews:

This is a very pretty dive with a lovely eel garden and two big groupers hanging about. I saw five jacks in a pack and millions of glass fish. There were also black-eyed thick-lipped wrasse and a few single masked puffers.
