nothing special. mostly rocky reefs in shallow water, groupers are a bit rare but they're around, mostly 'denees' (dentex?) and 'abo no2ta'. a lot of people go around montaza. but it's mostly small fish. i spent ages asking people in fishing shops and along the corniche about good spearfishing spots and didn't get very far. many alexandrian spearos go to agami and swim out to the big rock/island in front of nadi el zobat, but you have to be lucky with the current, as the water gets murky and nasty if it's coming from one direction, i forget which. then again, i'm quite inexperienced with this and a lot of this information comes from more experienced friends. but there are some interesting spots and some decent fish around. the real hard core welad balad spearos, though, they do the whole pneumatic gun scuba offshore thing and they're not so generous with information, probably because they make money off it. the onesi spoke to seemed to have this fatwana attitude which wasn't so appealing. but anyway. let me know if you find some nice spots. and about the north coast, the wave-breaker jetties in marina aren't bad...very decent sized aroos, boori, and some small groupers if you care to squeeze inside the concrete blocks.
