shore diving around the Port Ghalib area

[hiloboy]

I am diving on a liveaboard toBrother – Daedalus – Elphinstone. I will arrive a day early and wanted to know how the diving is around Port Ghalib. Any suggestions for an area with good shore diving?

Hi,

It's quite a way into the Port for any of the dive centers in the area to come and pick you up although I have been shore diving with Seaworld while I stayed at the Marina Lodge when the sea was rough in November, seen the Dugong at Marsa Egla and Sheikh Malek.

Best is to check with the dive centers in the Port, Colona-Divers, Extradivers, Emperor and see what they have on the program for day boat diving.

It's mostly day boats from Port Ghalib, but Abu Dabbab is relatively close and odds are good that one of the operators mentioned above will be running a trip there on any given day.

RSDS (Red Sea Diving Safaris) Marsa Shagra Camp is 30 mts from Port Ghalib. They have a very good house reef. I'll bet they can send some one to pick you up for a days diving there and then take you back.
