About Gasus Soraya
Gasus Soraya is an easy shore-access reef bay between Safaga and El Quseir. The dive starts over shallow seagrass and then follows small coral blocks and reef outcrops with hard and soft coral. Shallows hold sand eels and sweetlips, while the outer edge can bring barracuda, eagle rays, guitarfish, Napoleons, and hawksbill turtles on a calm morning.

Scuba Diving
Easy shore dive with a shallow inside line, then coral blocks and a more exposed outer edge if current builds.
