| Name: | Arba Erg |
|---|---|
| Description: | Arba Erg, also sometimes known as Tobia Arba, is an area of seven pinnacles rising up steeply from the seafloor to nearly break the surface. There are four main pinnacles to swim around (arba meaning four in Arabic); the other three are a bit more of a swim. |
| Fauna and Flora: | The dive site is an excellent one with a lot of variety of fish life, some good healthy coral and even a bit of soft coral. There are puffers, big coral groupers, octopus, lots of lionfish, batfish, blue scale emperors and much more. The night dive is excellent. You can see a lot of lionfish patrolling the reef and some big silverfish in a massive shoal following us between the ergs. The highlight of the dive is to watch a free swimming giant moray cruising through a gap in one of the pinnacles and on up the side of it. |
