About this site

Tobia Kebir is a reef site off the coast of Qesm Safaga, in Egypt's Red Sea Governorate, part of the string of offshore reefs typically accessed by boat from Safaga. This section of the Red Sea coast is known for its coral formations rising from deeper water, reached by dive operators based in the town. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 24 metres over a reef bottom and is rated a beginner dive. Grouper and unicornfish are common here, and divers have also reported clownfish, lionfish, surgeonfish, and triggerfish on the reef.
