Introduction
Moray Garden is a classic shore dive south of Dahab, named for the garden eels swaying above its sand slopes. Enter from the beach onto a gentle slope of coral gardens where turtles, blue-spotted rays and groupers appear. Mild currents and clear water make it a favourite for snorkellers and divers alike.
