Karang East Pylades - Sumatra

Horseshoe Reef is exactly what it sounds like, a horseshoe-shaped coral formation just off the Marsa Alam coast. We've seen small giant clams tucked into the reef, and the occasional cowfish browsing the coral. While it's not the most dramatic dive in the Red Sea, it’s a good, relaxed site, especially for shaking off the rust or getting comfortable with the local conditions. Keep an eye on the blue, though, as both long-beaked and bridled dolphins have been spotted passing by.
