Abu Galawa Soraya

Also known as: Abu Galawa Small · Abu Galawa Small - Yacht · Abu Galawa Saghir · Abu Galawi Soraya

The dive usually starts on a small reef section north of the main reef and follows the wall to the wreck of a private sailing yacht that lies at the base of the reef. Its hull and cabin roof are still intact and coated in coral, and sweepers and glassfish fill the inside. A narrow channel at about 16 m leads into the central pool, a sandy bowl surrounded by mountain corals, and another opening returns divers to the east side. The shallow area near the mooring is often praised as an attractive place for the safety stop. Frogfish have been found on the wreck, and reef sharks and large morays pass along the outer wall.
