About Neptuna

A wreck dive. It goes down to 20 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NE: swell from the NE reaches it, and wind from the SW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 24°C in February, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 31°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). No town nearby. Hamata, 112 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Marsa Alam, 209 km. Nearest airport: Prince Abdulmohsen Bin Abdulaziz International Airport (YNB), 198 km. Within 5 km we also list 8 dive sites.

What you might see

Too few open records near this site to list its animals. Ask a dive centre what you are likely to see.

This week: visibility about 25 m, about usual for the month (satellite plankton reading, 24 Oct). Estimated from the month's typical visibility and this week's satellite chlorophyll against the site's normal; heavy rain before a dive can still muddy it.

The current and the life no free forecast gives. Ask a dive centre before you book.
