About this spot

Diving.de Akassia sits in Egyptian waters as an accessible dive destination open throughout the year. The site has recorded 12 species observations, giving divers reliable encounters with local marine life. Community-contributed videos—three in total—provide insight into conditions and what to expect underwater. The spot operates outside a marine protected area, which shapes local regulations and access. Coral health data shows no stress indicators, suggesting the reef remains in good condition. This makes it a solid choice for divers seeking a stable, established site with documented marine activity. Divers planning a visit should check local weather and sea conditions before booking, as year-round accessibility doesn't guarantee ideal conditions every day. The site's species documentation helps you prepare for the wildlife you're likely to encounter. Community videos offer practical perspective on depth, visibility, and technique requirements.

  • Danke für die schönen Aufnahmen. Als man noch reisen konnte, war ich gerne und öfter in Marsa Alam, tolle UW-Welt und hab dort meinen ersten Manta-Rochen gesehen. In Satayah-Reef mir einer Schule Delphinen geschnorchelt. Eine Märchenwelt da unten, die einen demütig macht. 🐠🐬
