Tobia Kebir
Why dive here
Tobia Kebir is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Tobia Kebir, just off Safaga, is a solid choice when you want a relaxed dive. We've often ducked in here when the weather's turned a bit choppy elsewhere, and it usually stays calm. It's a shallow spot, topping out around 17 meters, so you get plenty of bottom time to drift along the sandy channels and explore the scattered coral heads. You’ll typically find schools of fusiliers darting about, and we’ve spotted moray eels peeking out from their crevices, along with the occasional scorpionfish blending into the reef. The sand flats are home to a decent field of garden eels, always fun to watch sway, and we’ve even had a few playful encounters with bottlenose dolphins here. It's an easygoing dive, perfect for newer divers or for shaking off the rust.
