Dive-site story
Set along the remote coastline north of Dahab inside the Ras Abu Galum Protected Area, this site features undisturbed coral architecture spared from heavy diver traffic. Divers reach the area via camel trek or water taxi from the Blue Hole area, entering off a stony shoreline to drift along steep reef slopes and coral terraces dropping into the clear Gulf of Aqaba.
Pristine hard coral coverage with vast table corals and healthy porites colonies
Frequent encounters with hawksbill turtles grazing along the reef slope
Atmospheric dive profile along a secluded, undeveloped stretch of Sinai coast
