Marsa Shouna Liveaboard Dive Site

Marsa Shouna is a reef dive in Marsa Alam, Egypt, within an area known for offshore reefs, coral gardens and pelagic routes. The precise entry point and route depend on current, weather and the cruise director’s assessment, so an itinerary reference should not be treated as a guarantee that every departure will dive the site.

The most productive side of the reef changes with the water movement. Divers should remain close to the guide, control their depth and be prepared for a negative entry or blue-water pickup where the briefing requires it.

A liveaboard is the practical way to combine this site with several dives across Marsa Alam. Carry a surface marker buoy, follow the boat’s current and pickup procedures and use nitrox only when qualified and after analysing the cylinder. Wildlife encounters and visibility vary naturally and cannot be guaranteed.

Other sites in this part of the itinerary include Elphinstone Reef and Abu Dabab. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The Marsa Shouna dive site in Egypt is visited by five dive liveaboards. The highest customer-rated liveaboard scores 9.5 out of 10. Prices across these liveaboards start from £66.00.

If you want a more intimate experience, the smallest liveaboard in this selection of the Marsa Shouna dive liveaboards is All Star Ghani Liveaboard, which has 12 cabins, accommodates up to 24 guests, and is 138 ft in length. If you prefer a larger boat, All Star Scuba Scene, which is 48.5 m in length, has 14 cabins, and accommodates up to 28 guests.

So be careful when you choose a liveaboard that has the Marsa Shouna dive site on its itinerary, to make sure both your dive certification and level of experience match its minimum levels.
