Dive Site

Overview

Farcha is a horseshoe-shaped large plateau covered with groups of smaller coral blocks.

Description

At the edge of the plateau there is a drop off that goes down to about 50 meters. However, the more interesting section is on the plateau at a depth of about 25 - 30 meters. There you will find numerous coral blocks (ergs) of different sizes.

At the end of each "horseshoe" there are 2 groups of three habilis - that's how the ergs are called, which lie under the water surface. Since the two groups are quite far apart, you should plan 2 dives here.

You can be dropped with the zodiac above the Ergs and go around the blocks, which are beautifully overgrown.

Hotspots

  • Here it is also worth looking out for the smaller reef inhabitants - various species of nudibranchs are at home here. You can also find moray eels, blue spotted stingrays, crocodile fish, etc. - all the usual inhabitants of the Red Sea.

The coral blocks

You can be dropped off by zodiac above the Ergs and go around the blocks, which are beautifully overgrown. Here it is also worth looking out for the smaller reef inhabitants - various species of nudibranchs are at home here. You can also find moray eels, blue spotted stingrays, crocodile fish, etc. - just the usual red sea inhabitants. At the end of the dive the zodiac brings you back to the boat, which is parked in the lagoon.
