    Naama Bay offers a gentle introduction to Red Sea diving, perfect for beginners or a relaxed first dive of the day. The shallow reef, never dropping below 15 metres, is mostly hard coral with scattered bommies. You’ll spot plenty of butterflyfish, parrotfish, and wrasse meandering through the coral. It’s a comfortable spot to get your fins wet.
