    The Islands offers a relaxed dive, perfect for an easy afternoon outing or shaking off the dust on your gear. We always appreciate the massive table corals here, some of the largest we’ve seen in Dahab, providing shelter for all sorts of reef fish. Keep an eye out for African eel blennies peeking from crevices and surprisingly large giant clams tucked into the reef structure. It’s a solid choice for macro lovers and photographers looking for unhurried observations, or just a pleasant drift.
