Marsa Murain

This dive site, Marsa Murain, offers two appealing shore dives in a sheltered bay. The shallow, sandy entry makes it accessible even during less-than-ideal sea conditions, requiring only moderate effort. Once underwater, a pleasing underwater landscape unfolds, characterized by sandy stretches teeming with sand eels. The relatively calm and protected nature of the bay contributes to its overall accessibility and suitability for divers of all levels. The marine life at Marsa Murain is diverse and engaging. Common sightings include the plentiful sand eels, along with scorpion fish and stonefish lurking among the seabed. Divers can expect to encounter blue spotted rays and, if lucky, even larger pelagic species such as barracudas and eagle rays cruising in the open water. Dolphins are also a possible treat for those who visit this area. The best time to visit Marsa Murain is typically during the warmer months, from April to October, when the water is calmest and the visibility is at its best. For freedivers, this period offers optimal conditions for extended dives, whereas divers can fully enjoy the exploration of the site's diverse habitats and the abundance of marine life. Remember to check the current sea conditions before embarking on any dive, and always maintain a safe distance from any marine animals encountered.
