    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Abu Fendira usually provides a relaxed dive, often picked for its calm conditions. You'll find a series of small, shallow pinnacles here, home to plenty of angelfish and butterflyfish. It's a good spot for new divers to get comfortable or for anyone looking for an easy, pleasant afternoon. We sometimes see a turtle or two grazing on the seagrass nearby.
