    Marsa Shouna is a good spot for easing into Red Sea diving. This shallow bay, maxing out at 18 metres, often has a gentle current, making it ideal for beginners or those getting back in the water. You'll likely encounter green sea turtles grazing on the seagrass beds, and the occasional guitar shark cruises through. It's a relaxed, easy dive for shaking off the travel dust.
