    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Legend in Marsa Alam is a reliable spot for a relaxed dive. We've often seen Indian Scad here, sometimes in decent schools, and the occasional Pharaoh Cuttlefish doing its colour change routine. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the local bottlenose dolphins cruising by. It’s a good choice for divers looking for easy conditions and a chance for some interesting encounters.
