Ricks Reef
★★★★★
(270)
Rick’s reef is located 250 meters north of the Canyon dive site, which makes it perfect to be conducted as a drift dive that allows the divers to reach the lagoon of the canyon. Being one of the less visited dives in Dahab, the reef is in a very good condition.
Due to the good condition of the reef, it became home to rich fauna that includes Blue-spotted Stingrays, Crocodilefish, Masked Pufferfish and Garden Eels.
