This dive site, Coral Garden Ghalib, is a beautiful coral garden located north of the well-known Imbarak diving spot. It is typically enjoyed as a drift dive from a boat, navigating with the light to medium current that predominantly flows from north to south. As a relatively less-dived spot, it offers a serene underwater experience away from crowded areas. There is no specific historical information or story provided for this site.
Divers can expect to see a thriving array of hard and soft corals forming the 'garden' for which the site is named. This rich coral environment supports a diverse population of reef fish, including various species of butterflyfish, angelfish, and anemonefish. While no specific large marine life is guaranteed, the site is known for occasionally offering pleasant surprises, hinting at potential encounters with larger pelagic species or other interesting creatures.
Coral Garden Ghalib is suitable for diving year-round, benefiting from the generally excellent conditions of the Red Sea. The highlight for divers is undoubtedly the pristine coral garden and the peaceful experience due to fewer divers. The site's shallow average depth of 9 meters also makes it ideal for snorkelers and freedivers looking to explore a vibrant reef system close to the surface, especially during periods of milder currents.
