Shaab Said
★★★★☆
(267)
Boat dive site, about 13km south of Dahab. It is jumped from the drifting boat and dived in northern direction. In the shallow area (max.10m) wonderful hard coral labyrinth with small caves to dive through. Deeper closed coral reef that slowly slopes down. Oneway dive.
Two native turtles are almost always seen. Octopuses, squids, garfish, barracudas, many butterfly fish and sailfin doctor fish above the corals in the shallows.
