    Zerib Soraya is a gentle drift dive, often done from a RIB, with a main coral block rising to about 12 metres. We've seen plenty of schooling snapper and fusiliers here, along with the occasional moray eel peeking from the reef. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive, especially when the currents aren't too strong, suiting intermediate divers looking for an easy-going exploration.
