Abu Hashish Sud Ergs
★★★★☆
(115)
15 min by boat from Makadi bay, 5 min south of Abu Hashish lagoon. Beautiful shallow dive site full of ergs with plenty of marine life. Done as a stationary dive zig-zaging in between the ergs. Often exposed to a current, then possibility of big marine life encounter such as dolphins and eagle ray.
Schools of anthias, clown fish, parrot fish, blue spotted sting ray and on lucky days turtles, eagle rays and dolphins can be spotted
