    Abu Dabour is a good training ground, straightforward and shallow at 22m. We’ve found it reliable for spotting scorpionfish tucked into crevices and often see blue-spotted rays gliding over the sandy patches. It’s a comfortable site, ideal for newer divers getting their fins wet in the Red Sea, or for a relaxed second dive. The currents here are generally mild.
