    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Farsha Ergein Farayed offers a relaxed dive, topping out around 25 meters, making it a good choice if you're looking for something on the shallower side. We've often seen cowfish poking around the reef, always a cheerful sight. The real draw here, though, are the dolphins – long-beaked and bridled varieties have been known to cruise through, and if you’re particularly lucky, a false killer whale might even make an appearance. It's a site that rewards patience, perfect for those who enjoy a gentle current and keeping an eye out for larger visitors passing by.
