Abu Dabab
A collection of 7 reefs offering sheltered diving, suitable for check dives
and night dives when you have a good chance of seeing a sleeping turtle and
spanish dancers. Good chance of seeing white tip reef shark and many nice swim
throughs and caves.
Elphinstone Reef
The sheer walls of this great reef plunge steeply into the blue. This
legendary reef is one of the most beautiful in the Red Sea. It is richly
decorated with soft corals, black corals, sponges, gorgonians and fans. Sharks
often swim over the plateaus at the North and south of the reef. The east and
west walls make an excellent drift dive taking in the plateaus. Frequent
sightings of Hammerheads and Oceanic White Tip sharks.
Sha'ab Samadai (Dolphin
House Reef)
This large horseshoe shaped reef is now the permanent home of a large pod of
Spinner Dolphins thanks to its Marine Park status. There are several dives to do

western tip. You will find caves, corals and an abundance of fish on this reef.

corals and schools of fish over the plateau.

depth makes it an ideal night dive.
