Abu Kafan North
Why dive here
Abu Kafan North is a dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Abu Kafan North offers a solid drift dive along its eastern wall. Expect pelagic sightings like tuna and barracuda out in the blue, while reef sharks occasionally patrol the deeper sections. The wall itself is well-covered with soft corals, particularly at shallower depths. We'd suggest this site for intermediate divers comfortable with currents and keen on open water encounters.
