Nearby sites in Soma Bay
Explore all sitesThe shore reef off ROBINSON Club's own beach on the Soma Bay peninsula, dived from the sand rather than from the famous jetty a kilometre and a half away.
Seven coral pillars standing off the sand in the lee of the Soma Bay headland, none of them deeper than about 15 m.
A hard-coral drop-off reached on foot down a 420 m jetty, shallow enough to stay down for an hour and a half.
The long, gently sloping coral garden on the south side of the Soma Bay headland - the easy dive of the bay.
The headland that closes Soma Bay: a wall down one side, a 25 m plateau at the tip, and table corals the size of a car.
The drift entry for the Ras Abu Soma headland - almost certainly the same reef as our Ras Abu Soma page, listed twice.
