Siyoul Lagoon is a North Red Sea reef dive off Siyoul Soraya Island, built around a main reef and a plateau-like coral garden linked by a small channel. It is usually run as a boat dive from the El Gouna side and works best as a relaxed reef circuit, with sheltered water, clear visibility, and lots of small-life detail around the channel, reef edge, and coral garden.
