Abu Dabour

About this dive site

This dive site, Abu Dabour, offers a relaxed and accessible diving experience. Divers can enter via a convenient nearby jetty or explore a scenic small canyon leading to the clear blue waters from the shore. The dive begins on a gently sloping sandy bottom, giving divers the choice to explore either the northern or southern reef. This site is well-suited for beginners due to its shallow depth and calm conditions.

The marine life is abundant and diverse. Expect to see a variety of fish species, including crocodile fish, blue spotted rays, and scorpionfish. You may also encounter other fascinating creatures within the reef's ecosystem, and the colourful corals provide ample opportunity for macro photography.

The best time to visit is during the warmer months, from April to October, when visibility is usually at its best and water temperatures are most pleasant. While the currents are typically mild, divers and freedivers should always check local conditions before entering the water. Remember to maintain a safe distance from marine life and practice responsible diving ethics.
