    Abu Dabab II is a shallow, relaxed dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a gentle second dive. The maximum depth is 16 metres, keeping bottom times long and air consumption low. You'll find a sandy bottom with a few scattered coral blocks, usually home to whip corals and small anemones. We often spot pipefish and juvenile emperor fish here, making it a good spot for macro enthusiasts too.
