Shaab Abu Dabbab 4

Also known as: Abu Dabbab 4

A large coral garden between about 12 and 22 m is scattered with pinnacles and table corals. Operators dive it as a drift, usually starting at the northern reef section and drifting south to weave between the pinnacles, or the other way round when the current turns. Anthias, angelfish, unicornfish, moray eels, crocodilefish and stingrays are common, and barracuda schools, tuna and turtles pass by. Because fewer boats come here, SeaHorse describes the reef as even richer than its neighbours.
