Snorkeling
Dolphins
The Sha’ab Samadai reef, also known as Dolphin House, is one or the most popular attractions in the Red Sea, because it offers a great opportunity to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat. The reef is shaped like a horseshoe, and there is a protected lagoon, which is a perfect place for spinner dolphins to rest and play. These beautiful and intelligent marine mammals are often happy to swim with the divers and snorkelers, and sometimes the fortunate divers come face to face with the dolphins. However, the dolphins may not stay long around the divers, because they swim very fast. Besides the dolphins, there is so much else to see and explore at this dive site. Divers can choose between beautiful drop-offs, swim-throughs, and caves, and will be fascinated with the beautiful coral formations and a wonderful array of other marine life.
