Total Solar Eclipse 2027: Dive at Marsa Shagra

On 2nd August 2027, the skies above Egypt will deliver one of the most extraordinary natural spectacles on Earth and you can witness this once in a lifetime celestial event with Oonasdivers.



  • A total solar eclipse, often called the Eclipse of the Century, will pass directly over Marsa Shagra, placing you right in the path of totality.

    This is not just a glimpse. This is the main stage.

    Why Marsa Shagra is the Perfect Viewing Spot

    Marsa Shagra sits in one of the best positions on Earth to witness this eclipse, offering an exceptionally long period of totality with clear, uninterrupted views across the Red Sea.

    No crowds, no city haze, no light pollution, and no rushing from place to place. Just open horizon, calm surroundings, and front-row seats to something truly rare.

    You will already be exactly where you need to be.

    For Several Breathtaking Minutes…

    This is where it gets goosebump territory.

    As the Moon moves into place, the light begins to shift. Colours soften, shadows sharpen, and the temperature quietly drops. In a matter of moments, daylight fades into an eerie twilight.

    And then… totality.

    The Sun disappears behind the Moon, leaving behind a glowing, delicate halo, the corona, shimmering in a darkened sky. Stars may begin to appear. The sea stills. Everything pauses.

    For several surreal, spine-tingling minutes, you are standing on the edge of day and night.

    And then, just as suddenly, it returns.

    It is powerful. It is humbling. It is truly unforgettable.



  • Diving Before the Eclipse

    Your holiday begins beneath the waves. Marsa Shagra is renowned for some of the best diving in the Red Sea, with warm, clear waters and diverse marine life. Over five days, you can expect:

    • Colourful coral formations teeming with life, including schools of bright clownfish, parrotfish, and angelfish
    • Graceful sea turtles gliding through the reefs and curious dolphins playing nearby
    • Occasional sightings of reef sharks and rays, adding a touch of adventure
    • Guided dives suitable for all levels, ensuring safe and enjoyable exploration

    By the time the eclipse arrives, you will feel completely at one with the underwater world, relaxed, and ready for the ultimate natural spectacle.

    More Than Just an Eclipse Holiday

    This is a full Red Sea adventure. Each day can be spent diving through thriving reefs, snorkelling close to shore, or enjoying a peaceful sunset from the coastline. Between activities, you can relax at the resort, savour fresh local cuisine, and soak in the tranquil surroundings.

    The eclipse is the grand finale, but every moment of your holiday is designed to be unforgettable, from the first dive to the last rays of sunlight on the water.
