El Fanadir South

El Fanadir South is an extension of the long El Fanadir reef but has unique features that set it apart. Unlike the northern section, this area offers a variety of underwater landscapes: sandy patches transition into coral formations, and in some areas, the reef forms small vertical walls.

Depths range from 5 to 35 meters, making it suitable for different types of dives—from shallow exploration to deeper drift dives along the reef. The marine life here includes butterflyfish, emperor angelfish, cuttlefish, moray eels, and large schools of glassfish. Eagle rays, barracudas, and snappers are also frequent visitors.

El Fanadir is a fantastic site for drift diving, as the moderate currents allow for a relaxing dive without the need to return to the starting point. Morning dives here are particularly stunning, as the sunlight penetrates the water, illuminating the reef beautifully.
