The on-site dive shop means you can sort equipment and fills without bringing your own kit, so it is worth checking in with them before entering the water to get current conditions and any guidance on where the artificial reef structures sit. Water temperatures can drop to 17C in winter months, so packing a wetsuit of at least 5mm for that period will keep you comfortable for a full dive.
Shore dive accessible directly from the beach at Naama Bay.
