Abu Echera
Why dive here
Abu Echera is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, sea turtles and spinner dolphins. Water ranges 23-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
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.
