Abu Fandera
Abu Fandera is located 4 hours by boat from St John's - at the border of Sudan. At this untouched reef you will find some fantacks dive-sites.
Departure from Hamata and cruise between the reefs of Fury Shoal, St Johns and Abu Fandera aboard your comfortable liveaboard vessel.
On the way to Abu Fendera some interesting dive sites:
At the Eastside in the morning you can watch herds of hump head parrotfish. A superb experience!
In the channels very nice "Habilis" are growing. A fantastic UW landscape and a lot of fishes are waiting for you!
Siyal Islands (Wreck of the Endymion)
At this reef (its very close to the Siyal Islands) we find a wreck. A sailing yacht is sunken here because of wrong navigation and is lying now in a depths of 15 m.
Close to the wreck is standing one "Erg", covered with beautiful pink soft corals. Around the corner you find some "Habilis"and a big field with whip corals. Also here it is possible to see the quite rare hump head parrotfish.
In the Fury Shoal area, Shaab Maksour with its north and south plateaus offers amazing diving and possibilities to spot hammerhead, grey reef and white-tip sharks while you enjoy the scenery provided by the soft and hard corals in colourful growth.
Swim with big pods of spinner dolphins in the lagoons of Shaab Sataya or explore the ancient amphorae, hard and soft coral gardens and shear walls it has to offer.
For cavern lovers and photographers, Shaab Claude is a dream dive and Shaab Heaven is truly a heavenly dive with its numerous pinnacles sticking closely together and creating a maze of swim-throughs that will make you wonder about nature's miracles.
St Johns is a collection of small reefs offering some of the best diving in the Red Sea. Habili Ali will make even the most experienced of divers sigh with wonder when admiring the forests of huge fan corals and black corals that populate its walls. At its western end grey reef, silver-tip and big schools of hammerhead sharks may be observed.
