    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Abu Echera offers a relaxed dive, good for shaking off the travel rust or getting comfortable in the water. We've often spotted cowfish here, along with small giant clams tucked into the reef. It’s a shallower site, which makes it perfect for longer bottom times and less experienced divers. Keep an eye out for dolphins, both bridled and long-beaked varieties have been known to pass through.
