Abu Dabbab I-XI

Abu Dabbab is a chain of six reefs located near the coast in the Marsa Alam region. Each offers a unique underwater landscape, diverse marine life, and excellent conditions for both day and night dives. This is a common choice for a check-dive on our deep south itineraries across our fleet.

Abu Dabbab 1 & 2 – the most popular and scenic reefs, featuring coral gardens, canyons, and large coral bommies that provide shelter for moray eels, lionfish, frogfish, and octopuses.
Abu Dabbab 3 & 4 – known for their deep walls and steep drop-offs, often patrolled by whitetip reef sharks, barracudas, and tunas.
Abu Dabbab 5 & 6 – more remote sites with strong currents, making them perfect for drift dives. Divers here may encounter eagle rays, sea turtles, and even whale sharks in the right season.

With stable diving conditions, incredible visibility, and abundant marine life, Abu Dabbab is an ideal destination for both beginner and advanced divers looking to explore the rich underwater ecosystems of the Red Sea.
