    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    The Wadi Lahmy Azur Housereef is a solid choice for a casual dive when you're staying nearby. It’s got a relaxed vibe, perfect if you want to roll out of bed and into the water without a boat trip. We've seen some interesting encounters here, with false killer whales and bottlenose dolphins making appearances, though those are always a treat and never a guarantee. Keep an eye out for smaller stuff too, like the bluestripe pipefish tucked into the corals and the vibrant hotlips triplefin flitting about. It's a comfortable spot for a couple of dives, especially good for knocking off some buoyancy practice or just decompressing after a long journey.
