Erg Somaya is an advanced dive site near Hurghada in Egypt's Red Sea, known for its deep coral pinnacles and strong current diving. The site rewards experienced divers with pristine soft coral walls in vivid reds, oranges, and yellows. Large Napoleon wrasse, tuna, and barracuda are regular sightings along the pinnacles. The deeper sections sometimes reveal white-tip reef sharks resting in sandy alcoves. The combination of colorful corals, big fish, and challenging conditions makes Erg Somaya a highlight for advanced Red Sea diving.
