Abu Kafan North
★★★★☆
(1,296)
Abu Kafan North Depth: 6 – 100m / Cruising Time: 80-90 min. This site is about 80 minutes outside of Soma Bay. Roughly translated, Abu Kafan means “father of the abyss“ and this is a fitting description for this reef. If you dive here you will know why! Abu Kafan can be described as a smaller version of Elphinstone.
The northern tip of Abu Kafan is a safe location for soft and fan corals, but also for big fish of all kinds, especially reef sharks, rays, barracudas, and turtles.
