3 Pools

Three Pools is one of those Dahab sites that delivers exactly what it promises: three distinct, shallow pools leading out to the main reef. It’s a gentle introduction, ideal for those getting comfortable in the water or for a relaxed second dive. We often find ourselves drifting over the sandy bottoms, spotting the occasional shy African eel blenny poking its head from the sand, and inspecting the patches of clump seagrass where juvenile fish hide. The corals, especially the various staghorn and table corals, are in good shape here, forming nice overhangs as you move deeper. You’ll see plenty of small giant clams tucked into crevices, and we’ve even come across a crown of thorns starfish or two. It’s a good spot for macro, particularly around the coral heads.
