Vertical wall with cracks and overhangs. Lots of macro life if you slow down.

About this trip
This trip is different from Abu Dabbab Bay. Instead of a beach-entry turtle bay, Abu Dabbab II and III are reached by speedboat and planned as two guided boat dives for certified divers. Expect stronger reef shape: coral walls, cracks, caves, swim-throughs, and wreck remains, with better chances for schooling fish, morays, barracuda, jacks, and sometimes reef sharks on the outer sections. It is a strong choice for divers who want something more exciting than a calm shore dive while staying close to the Marsa Alam north coast.

Drift dive along the wall, school of barracuda, healthy coral. Worth the boat ride.

Wall dive at its best. Soft corals curtaining down to 40m, anthias in clouds.
