About Bluff Point
Bluff Point is a boat-dived wall and drift site on the Gubal Island edge of the Red Sea. The point drops into a steep coral wall with overhangs, passages, and wreck fragments that pull in marine life, so the dive rewards close wall control and a team that can work with the current. It is a classic liveaboard stop rather than a casual reef hop, and the busy mooring area means boats and timing matter as much as the underwater profile.
