Laguna Reef

Laguna Reef is a drift dive site located on the western side of Tiran Island. It is a dive suitable for all levels and offers a rich marine life experience. The dive can be done from either the Laguna entrance to the green beacon or vice versa, depending on the current. The dive starts at the outer wall of South Laguna and follows a transverse hard coral wall that divides the lagoon into North and South Laguna. The South Laguna, also known as Marsa Shabir, is the larger of the two and is a popular mooring point for local fishermen. The reef is adorned with stunning glassfish pinnacles and Gorgonian fan corals, and schools of butterfly fish can be seen along the hard coral wall. There is also a chance to spot larger pelagic species cruising along in the current. The average depth of the coral lagoon is 10 to 12 meters, providing a splendid underwater view.
