    The Port Ghalib Sand-Oasis is exactly what it sounds like: a sprawling sand flat that reaches about 20m. It’s a great spot for beginners to work on buoyancy in calm, shallow conditions. Keep an eye out for blue-spotted rays, flatworms, and the occasional camouflaged scorpionfish. We’d recommend it for anyone doing a course or just getting comfortable in the water.
