About this dive site

This dive site is located in Abu Dabbab Bay, offering a diverse underwater landscape. The dive involves exploring a beautiful coral garden, a fascinating cave with bright light penetration, and a small, old wreck now adorned with soft corals. Navigation is straightforward, with the main features being relatively close together. The site is easily accessible by zodiac, making it a convenient option for divers of all levels.

Marine life is abundant, with numerous parrotfish and surgeonfish inhabiting the coral gardens and canyons. Larger species such as small eagle rays and Napoleon wrasse also frequent the area. The wreck itself provides a habitat for a variety of smaller creatures and invertebrates. A variety of coral types are present, creating a vibrant and colorful underwater scene.

The best time to visit is during the warmer months (April-October), when visibility is typically excellent and the water temperature is comfortable. For freedivers, the relatively shallow depths and calm conditions make this a suitable location. Divers should remember to maintain a safe distance from the marine life and avoid touching the corals.
