About Merlo Reef

A pinnacle and reef dive. It goes down to 20 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces E: swell from the E reaches it, and wind from the W blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 25°C in February, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 32°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Port Sudan, is 138 km away. Nearest airport: PZU (PZU), 158 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
