Shaab Samadai
Also known as: Dolphin House · Sha'ab Samadai · Samadai Reef
The crescent-shaped reef encloses a shallow lagoon where a pod of spinner dolphins rests during the day. To protect them the site is split into three zones: the inner lagoon is reserved for the dolphins, a second zone is for snorkellers only, and divers and boats use the outer zone. Divers find well-preserved hard and soft coral gardens, drop-offs and a field of pinnacles on the south-western side, one of which is crossed by a cave system meant for experienced divers. Operators usually run one dive along the eastern wall and one through the shallow canyons and swim-throughs on the west side. Permits are required, and the marine park rules are enforced on site.
