About Marsa Tondoba
Marsa Tondoba is a sheltered Red Sea bay with a sandy bottom, coral blocks, and shallow pinnacles outside the beach line. It works as a relaxed loop rather than a hard drift, so slow reef scanning and photo stops fit better than speed. The site is known for colorful soft corals, turtles, rays, morays, and plenty of reef fish, and some operators also reach the same bay by zodiac or speedboat. It is a good fit for beginners, snorkelers, and easygoing scuba dives when the water is calm.
