    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Habili Sama is a straightforward pinnacle dive just off Marsa Alam. We’ve found it’s a good spot for newer divers, with a maximum depth of 22 metres and generally mild conditions. The pinnacle itself draws in the usual suspects: schools of bannerfish and goatfish often congregate here, and we've regularly spotted blue-spotted rays on the sandy bottom. It's a reliable, easy dive for shaking off the rust.
