Why dive here
Habili Ali is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 23-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
Habili Ali, a pinnacle site out from Marsa Alam, gives you that classic Red Sea feel, but with a twist. We've seen cowfish here, just bumbling along the reef slope, and the real draw for us has always been the pods of dolphins that frequent the area. Long-beaked and bridled dolphins have a habit of making an appearance. It's an open-water dive, so expect some current and plan your entry accordingly, but for those seeking a deeper blue encounter, it's worth the trip.
