Exploring the Depths: A Day with Dugongs and Turtles in Port Ghalib

Drawn by the allure of the Red Sea’s vibrant marine life, I embarked on a day trip from Port Ghalib to snorkel and dive with dugongs and turtles. The experience was a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility, leaving me in awe of the ocean’s beauty.

Setting Sail from Port Ghalib

The sun was just beginning to rise as I arrived at the Port Ghalib marina, the air filled with the salty tang of the sea and the promise of adventure. The boat, a gleaming vessel with spacious sun decks and a welcoming crew, awaited us. As a marine biologist, I’ve spent countless hours on boats, but there’s always something exhilarating about setting sail on a new journey.

The crew greeted us with warm smiles and a refreshing welcome drink, setting the tone for the day. The boat’s owner, a charming individual with a passion for the sea, made us feel right at home. As we departed the marina, the gentle hum of the engine and the soft tunes playing in the background created a serene atmosphere, perfect for the adventure ahead.

Diving into the Blue

Our first stop was Marsa Mubarak, a renowned diving spot known for its vibrant marine life. As we anchored, the anticipation among the group was palpable. Equipped with high-quality diving gear, we plunged into the crystal-clear waters, greeted by a world teeming with life.

The guide, an expert in the local marine ecosystem, led us through the underwater wonderland. Schools of colorful fish darted around us, and the coral formations were nothing short of breathtaking. But the highlight of the dive was undoubtedly the encounter with the dugongs and turtles. These gentle creatures, gliding gracefully through the water, left us in awe of the ocean’s beauty.

A Feast for the Senses

After our morning dives, we returned to the boat for a well-deserved lunch. The open buffet was a delightful spread of local and international dishes, each bite a testament to the culinary skills of the crew. As we dined, the sun cast a warm glow over the deck, and the gentle rocking of the boat added to the tranquil ambiance.

The return journey to the marina was filled with laughter and shared stories of the day’s adventures. The crew’s professionalism and the boat’s comfort made the experience truly unforgettable. As we docked back at Port Ghalib, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to explore such a magnificent part of the world. This day trip was not just a dive into the ocean, but a dive into the heart of nature itself, a reminder of the wonders that lie beneath the waves.
