    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Abu Dabab 6 is a straightforward dive, often a second or third stop in the area. We’ve seen bottlenose dolphins here, and it's a known spot for topshells and strombs if you take the time to look closely at the sand. It’s a good choice for divers wanting an easy, relaxed dive, especially if you enjoy macro life. You might even get lucky with a whale shark or Bryde's whale passing through, though those are rare treats.
