Why dive here
Marsa Nakari South reef is a reef 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.
Marsa Nakari South reef is a solid house reef dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve found the real draw here is the chance for a dolphin encounter, particularly the long-beaked or Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins that sometimes cruise through the bay. Keep an eye out for cowfish nosing around the coral patches and pharaoh cuttlefish changing colours on the sand. It’s a good spot for a chilled-out dive, especially if you’re looking for something gentle after a day of boat trips, or just want to spend some quality time underwater without a lot of fuss.
