    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Abu Dabbab Wahid is a sheltered bay, popular for its chance encounters with some big visitors. We've seen Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins cruising through the sandy areas, and even a Bryde's whale on a lucky trip. Keep an eye out for whale sharks too, though they're less common. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, suitable for divers wanting gentle conditions and the possibility of larger marine life.
