Site adminTuesday, 13 August 202492 views

Learn about some of the rare and unique marine creatures that inhabit the Red Sea and cannot be found anywhere else.

The Red Sea contains marine species that are not found in any other sea in the world, and each one of them has a story worth telling.

Rare eel

It is completely different from land snakes. There are many species in the Red Sea, most of which are gentle and non-aggressive unless provoked. You can find it between the cracks of coral and seeing it is one of the most beautiful diving experiences.

Giant starfish

Types of starfish that reach half a meter in size, some of which are amazingly colorful. Do not touch it, as some species have mild poisonous defenses.

The tiny squid is fully camouflaged

Smaller than an octopus, but its ability to change color is more rapid and creative. He may sit in front of you frozen, thinking that you did not see him, while he changes his color to match the background.

Dragon fish

One of the most beautiful and dangerous things in the Red Sea. Its fins carry strong poison, yet many divers surround it to photograph. The correct solution is to photograph from afar with a telescopic lens.

Scientific documentation of marine life

If you see a strange or rare creature, photograph it and share the photo with local marine centers. You may complete a map of marine life in your area.


The Red Sea is a unique biological treasure. Every being has a message from nature waiting to be read.
