    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Marsa Samadai is a shallow bay, ideal for newer divers getting comfortable in the water. The maximum depth of 17m means plenty of bottom time to explore the sand flats and occasional coral patches. We often see blue-spotted rays resting on the sand here, and sometimes a passing green sea turtle. It’s a gentle spot, perfect for a relaxed second dive.
