Dive-site story
Located south of Dahab, Three Pools features three interconnected shallow sandy lagoons carved into the coastal reef flat. Divers navigate through these natural coral-ringed basins before exiting seaward into a sloping reef plateau that extends toward adjacent sites like Moray Garden. The area is sheltered from heavy offshore swells and displays hard coral formations alongside soft coral patches.
Series of three natural sandy-bottomed lagoons linked by shallow coral saddles
Expansive seaward coral garden populated by hard coral tables and branching acropora
Gentle reef slope suitable for relaxed navigation and orientation training
