Banc Moidubis Seghir

Banc Moidubis Seghir often gets overlooked for Ras Eiro, but we think that’s a mistake. This place is a masterclass in coral complexity. You drop down into a shallow garden, maybe 8-10 metres, and immediately you’re surrounded by these massive colonies of staghorn, lettuce, and table corals. It feels like swimming through an ancient, gnarled forest. The light plays through the branches, creating these incredible patterns on the sand below. We love just hovering here, watching the edgeblack groupers cruise through their territory, fat and unbothered. As you drift, you’ll spot patches of yellow scroll and starflower corals, adding pops of colour to the otherwise earthy tones. The current here is usually pretty gentle, making it perfect for photographers who want to really compose their shots without being buffeted about. It’s a site for divers who appreciate the intricacies of a healthy reef, rather than chasing pelagics. Our favourite time to dive it is mid-morning, when the sun is high enough to illuminate the reef but before the heat haze really sets in. It’s a genuinely peaceful dive.
