Little One
24.2167°N 35.5834°E · reef
Little One is a dive site in the southern Egyptian Red Sea at approximately 24.22°N, 35.58°E — a position in the coastal reef zone south of Marsa Alam, in the vicinity of the Fury Shoals approach and the Lahami Bay area. The name “Little One” suggests a small isolated reef structure, likely a compact coral formation or minor pinnacle rather than a major site.
Overview
The southern Egyptian Red Sea coastline between Marsa Alam and Hamata features numerous small inshore and offshore reef structures. Sites in this zone benefit from the Fury Shoals proximity — excellent water clarity, rich coral growth, and good fish populations are characteristic of the entire area. No site-specific description from local dive operators has been independently located for this particular site.
