These two dive sites are some of the newest additions to the Nuweiba dive site map. Therefore, there are no maps yet.
Ray’s Place begins by snorkeling over a rocky entry, and descending onto a sandy slope that begins on 2 meters. The whole slope from 5 meters down is covered in Sea Grass, with all coral pinnacles and large Table Corals growing up out of the grass. In this area, you can find different Nudibranches, and Robust Ghost Pipefish are found nestling amongst the Sea grass. This area has many Blue Spotted Rays, and you can often find them sitting proudly out on the grass rather than tucked under a ledge. The whole site has a magical feel owed to the setting of the coral within Sea Grass rather than in the sand.
Farrah Shore is entered by snorkeling over the rocks and descending onto the shallow coral garden. This area has a large collection of huge Table Corals, and drops swiftly down into craters and valley’s of over 40 meters depth. If you travel further from the entry point, the coral garden descends into a steep slope, with pristine corals, schools of large Surgeon Fish and Glass Fish tucked in between the coral blocks. This area descends to over 80 meters.
Special features: Unique landscapes, Blue Spotted Rays, Ghost Pipefish.
'Farrah Shore' is also the shore entry to the area that is currently being explored by the Nuweiba Tech Team, in order to locate the wreckage of the ferry boat 'Farrah II' that sunk in the area in 1985. As this is still an ongoing project, and depths are beyond the limits of recreational diving, there is unfortunately no map.
