    Mangrove Bay offers a shallow dive, maxing out at 17m, making it a good spot for newer divers getting comfortable in the Red Sea. We've often found it to be a gentle drift along a healthy coral reef. Look closely among the corals for nudibranchs and smaller reef fish. It’s a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive.
