About this dive site

This dive site, El Fanadir, is a substantial reef stretching for three kilometers. It’s located approximately four kilometers from the shore and requires boat access to reach. The reef features a prominent wall on its northeastern side, densely populated with corals and diverse marine life. A sandy bottom area separates the wall from a gentle slope leading down to a deeper drop-off. This drop-off extends from 18 meters to over 30 meters. On the southeastern portion of the reef, you’ll discover a shallow, sandy lagoon – ideal for those new to diving. The site offers a varied experience suitable for different skill levels.
