Siyoul Soraya

About this dive site

This dive site, Siyoul Soraya, is located near Elgouna, Egypt, and is known for being a relatively easy and accessible dive site, perfect for divers of all levels. The dive typically starts in shallower waters (2-3 meters) and gradually descends to a maximum depth of 14-15 meters, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced divers. Navigation is straightforward, following the natural reef structure. There is potential for a drift dive, adding another layer of enjoyment for those who prefer it.

The underwater landscape is teeming with diverse marine life. You can expect to encounter a variety of fish including scorpionfish, stonefish, crocodilefish, clownfish, pufferfish, boxfish, parrotfish, and stingrays. Larger animals such as dolphins and eagle rays also inhabit this area, adding to the excitement of the dive. The coral formations, while perhaps not as extensive as other sites, offer an interesting backdrop to the abundant smaller marine life.

The best time to visit Siyoul Soraya is during the warmer months (April to October) when water temperatures are pleasant and visibility is generally at its best. For freedivers, the shallower sections are ideal for extended dives, while scuba divers can explore the slightly deeper areas. Remember to check the weather forecast and current conditions before embarking on your dive, and always dive with a buddy and follow safe diving practices.
