Tobia Arbaa is an easy dive in Safaga, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The site is a collection of seven pinnacles, all shallow, maxing out around 15 metres. We often see schooling bannerfish and goatfish milling about the coral heads. There are plenty of anenomefish to spot too. It’s a gentle introduction to the Red Sea, usually with very little current.
