Gribal Diving - Strait of Gubal, Egypt

Gribal is an advanced dive site in the Strait of Gubal, Egypt's Red Sea, known for strong currents and dramatic underwater topography. The reef features steep walls plunging into deep blue water, covered in pristine soft corals and massive gorgonian fans. Grey reef sharks, hammerheads, and large tuna patrol the drop-offs. The challenging conditions mean this site is reserved for experienced divers, but the unspoiled reef and pelagic encounters make it one of the most rewarding advanced dives in the Gubal area.
