About this site
Tobia Arbaa, also known as "The Four Pinnacles," is a reef dive site near Soma Bay in the Red Sea, built around four towering coral formations that rise from a sandy bottom and are covered in both soft and hard corals.
The reef reaches a maximum depth of 15 m, with the shallowest point at around 3 m, giving the site a good vertical range across the pinnacle structures. The formations themselves provide varied terrain with walls and gardens of coral growth rising prominently from the sand.
Marine life at Tobia Arbaa includes moray eels, lionfish, scorpionfish, schools of fusiliers, pufferfish, coral groupers, octopus, and stingrays. Water temperature sits at 29°C.

Conditions are well suited to beginners, with minimal currents and easy diving throughout. The combination of manageable depth, light current, and rich coral structures also makes the site particularly appealing for underwater photographers.
