This dive site is located at the southern end of Dahab bay, specifically featuring Mashraba reef. This area is known for its surprising discoveries and offers a unique diving experience. The site begins with a gentle sandy slope leading to Roman’s rock – a substantial bommie (a rocky outcrop). Continuing south reveals various impressive formations. At approximately 20 meters, divers can discover a ‘family’ of beautiful table corals. With sufficient air, an expansive gorgonian fan awaits, followed by a pinnacle teeming with glass fish and antheas. The dive concludes with a return along a shallow reef area. Visibility is expected to be good.
