La description

Diving holiday El Gouna Egypt El Gilwa Description El Gilwa is another dive site of the Siyoul Island. Three mooring lines offer different places to stay and - depending on the planned dive - we choose one of them. Current is usually coming from east, therefore we will make an easy dive following the current. After a few minutes, in a depth of 16 meters, there is a massive coral block with hard and soft corals, stonefish, glassfish, dancing shrimps and a lot more. In an old fishing cage close to block, sometimes you may find a crocodile fish or scorpion fish. Sometimes eagle ray, turtles and feather tail stingrays can be seen, as well a giant eagle fish. Close to the surface the reef offers little shelters, which look like lagoons in a depth of 1-2 meters, which you can visit after the safety stop to admire the sunbeams flickering and reflecting from the crystal white sandy bottom.
