    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Rocky North, near Marsa Alam, offers good chances for pelagic encounters. We’ve had incredible luck here with pods of false killer whales and long-beaked dolphins cruising by. It’s a site for divers who appreciate wide-open blue water and the thrill of the unexpected, rather than intricate reef diving.
