Sharm Shoona is a beginner-friendly bay dive near Marsa Alam, featuring a wide sheltered bay with a sandy bottom and scattered coral formations. The site is particularly known for its juvenile fish nursery areas in the shallows and regular green turtle sightings. Coral patches host families of anemonefish, while blue-spotted stingrays rest on the sandy flats. The bay's gentle gradient and absence of current make it perfect for new divers and snorkelers, with the warm, clear waters providing a welcoming introduction to Red Sea marine life.
