Marsa Shoona is widely recognised as one of the best turtle encounters in the region. The broad sandy bay hosts several resident green turtles, often seen grazing calmly on the seagrass meadows. Beyond the central sand area, coral blocks and reef structures offer a beautiful second layer of exploration. Visibility is excellent, the bay is sheltered, and the chances of meeting turtles are extraordinarily high. A perfect site for relaxed, wildlife-focused full-day diving.
