Why dive here
Coral Garden / Gassous Bay is a reef dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Coral Garden at Gassous Bay is a mellow drift, perfect for newer divers. The reef slopes gently to about 20 meters, with plenty of table corals and bommies scattered across the sand. We usually spot an occasional turtle here, along with bannerfish and butterflyfish flitting among the hard corals. It’s a comfortable, easy dive, a good way to ease into the Red Sea.
