Port Ghalib Fishmarket
Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Port Ghalib Fishmarket offers some of Deep South's richest reef diving. Water ranges 22-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
Port Ghalib Fishmarket is a shallow, easy dive in the marina, perfect for beginners or a relaxed check-out dive. You'll find a sandy bottom with small patches of seagrass, often hosting pipefish and juvenile emperor fish. We've spotted small stingrays cruising the sand, and it’s a good spot for macro photography if you enjoy hunting for the smaller stuff. It’s a gentle introduction to the Red Sea, not a coral spectacle.
