Neptuna
Why dive here
Neptuna 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.
Neptuna is a dive site off Marsa Alam where the real draw is the chance to spot pelagics. We’ve seen false killer whales here, and long-beaked dolphins are also known to frequent the area. It’s not a site for intricate reef formations, but if you’re keen on open water encounters, this is one to keep on your radar.
