Gubal Island has several distinct sites worth knowing before you arrive.
Shark Point is the most talked-about site in the area, named for consistent reef shark sightings. The reef slopes from shallow to deeper water with coral formations throughout.
Gubal Garden is a shallow reef suited for both divers and snorkelers. Dense coral coverage and high fish density make this a productive dive even at shallow depths.
The area around Gubal also includes wreck diving, which is one of the reasons liveaboards prioritize this stretch of the Red Sea.
Multi-day Red Sea liveaboards regularly route through Gubal and give you access to multiple dive sites around the island across several days, a better option if you want to cover Shark Point, Gubal Garden, and the wrecks in one trip.
