The site is teeming with marine life, particularly macro and small reef inhabitants. Divers can expect to encounter an abundance of colorful hard and soft corals forming the foundation of the ecosystem. Among the corals and within the caves, numerous small fish species thrive, including vibrant Butterflyfish, lively Damselfish, elusive Hogfish, camouflaged Scorpionfish, and various delicate Nudibranchs.
The Red Sea generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round, with the 'breathtaking light' at Abu Dabab V being a consistent highlight, especially when sunlight penetrates the open caves.
