    Karam Marsmarit is a solid dive, offering a good look at the Red Sea’s quieter side. We’ve found the coral here to be particularly healthy, forming these intricate structures that just glow in the sunlight. You’ll spend your time gliding past schooling fusiliers, checking out some of the smaller critters tucked into the reef, and keeping an eye out for those bigger pelagics. It’s got a lovely, relaxed feel, ideal for a couple of long, easy dives. If you’re lucky, a false killer whale might cruise by, a real bonus on an already pleasant dive.
