Abu Nawas Garden
Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - Abu Nawas Garden offers some of Deep South's richest reef diving. Water ranges 22-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
Abu Nawas Garden sits at a comfortable 20 metres, making it a good spot for newer divers to get their fins wet. The reef here hosts a decent mix of Red Sea regulars. We've often seen groups of parrotfish grazing, and a few clownfish families in their anemones. It's a relaxed dive, good for shaking off the travel dust or for those just starting out.
