    Abū Daraj Reef, down in Eilat, is a solid shore dive. You’ll find a gently sloping coral garden here, full of the usual Red Sea suspects like parrotfish and some impressive anemones. It’s a pretty easy entry and navigation, making it a good choice for newer divers looking to get comfortable, or anyone wanting a relaxed afternoon dip without boat logistics. We think it’s a reliable spot when you're in the area.
