    Diving Shade at Marsa Shagra offers straightforward shore diving right from the beach. You’ll find a mix of seagrass beds, where we’ve seen Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins, and scattered coral patches. It’s a comfortable option for divers getting reacquainted with their gear, with easy access to air and nitrox tanks, gear lockers, and washing facilities. Expect to see common reef fish and the occasional smooth mouthed topshell.
