Verhaal van de duiklocatie
Situated around Kuwait's smallest offshore coral island, this site features a shallow fringing reef ecosystem surrounded by open waters of the Persian Gulf. Hard coral structures, including brain and tabular coral formations, step down into sandy flats where rays and reef predators roam. It serves as an important nesting and foraging ground for sea turtles in Kuwaiti waters.
