Maheleg
Why dive here
Maheleg is a reef dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Maheleg in Safaga is a site we usually visit for its shallower reefs, often as a second dive. It’s a good spot for finding some of the smaller residents of the Red Sea. We've often found Highfin and Yellow Triplefins here, tucked away in the coral, and even spotted Inversed Fiddler Crabs if you look closely. It's a relaxed dive, suitable for divers wanting to take their time with macro life.
