This dive site is Brayka Bay, a lovely and sheltered coral reef located in the Marsa Alam region of Egypt, nestled between the marinas of Port Ghalib and Marsa Alam. As a house reef for a resort, it offers easy shore access and simple navigation, making it an ideal spot for divers of all experience levels, particularly beginners. Its shallow depths and protected nature ensure calm conditions for an enjoyable underwater experience.
The reef is known for its surprising abundance of big fish, a distinctive feature compared to many surrounding resort reefs. Divers can expect to encounter various snapper and grouper species, alongside the typical colorful reef fish and diverse coral formations characteristic of the Red Sea.
The best time to visit Brayka Bay is generally year-round, given Egypt's consistent warm climate and the bay's sheltered status. Its shallow profile makes it perfectly suited for both snorkeling and freediving, offering excellent opportunities to explore the vibrant marine life just below the surface.
