Port Ghalib Fishmarket is the house-reef sector that gives Port Ghalib its easy-entry Red Sea dive. A sandy beach entry opens onto shallow reef, then the structure drops into a much deeper outer section and a canyon area that rewards divers who want a broader profile than a simple reef flat. The site is known for clear water, coral growth, turtles, boxfish, napoleon, and a busy mix of reef life, while the resort setting keeps access straightforward for a wide range of divers.
