Abu Dabbab II & III - Speedboat Reefs

Abu Dabbab II and III are offshore satellite reefs reached by speedboat from the Abu Dabbab area. This is the more adventurous Abu Dabbab option: we transfer you from your hotel to the launch point, then the speedboat takes you out for two dives with reef walls, caves, swim-throughs, and wreck remains.

About this trip

This trip is different from Abu Dabbab Bay, and the day has a simple rhythm. We pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the speedboat launch point at Abu Dabbab. Your guide runs a friendly, clear briefing - the reefs, the plan, hand signals, what lives where - and then the speedboat whisks you out to the reefs in minutes. Dive one is usually the Abu Dabbab II wall; after a surface break with water and snacks, dive two takes on the Abu Dabbab III caves and wreck route. Expect strong reef architecture: coral walls, cracks, caves, swim-throughs, and wreck remains, with good chances for schooling fish, morays, barracuda, jacks, and sometimes reef sharks on the outer sections. It is the right choice for certified divers who want something more exciting than a calm shore dive while staying close to the Marsa Alam north coast - and our guides work hard to make these two dives ones you will still be talking about at dinner. The whole trip takes about 4 hours door to door.
