Daharat Abida
Why dive here
With 55+ marine species recorded in the area - including pufferfish - Daharat Abida offers some of Port Sudan & Sanganeb's richest diving. Water ranges 25-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Daharat Abida is a steady performer in the Sanganeb region. We often find ourselves drifting along its reef wall, which typically starts around 10 meters and slopes down to 25 meters, sometimes a little deeper. The coral here, both hard and soft, seems to thrive, with big fan corals and colourful soft dendronephthya covering the slopes. You'll usually spot barracuda schooling off the wall, and jacks make frequent passes. It's a comfortable dive, usually with manageable currents, making it a good spot for a relaxed exploration rather than an adrenaline rush.
