This dive site, Ras Abu Galum, is located in a protected national park in the far north of Dahab, Sinai. Accessible by camel or boat, it features a sandy slope leading to a reef wall descending to around 30 meters. The left side offers a particularly dramatic wall dive with pinnacles and rock formations. Navigation is straightforward, following the reef wall, but divers should be aware of potential currents. There's no specific historical information about this dive site beyond its inclusion in a protected area.
The diverse marine life includes trevallies, jacks, and resident sea turtles. Various reef fish populate the coral, and macro life can be found amongst the reef structure. While the description doesn't specify particular fish species, the coral reef environment supports a rich variety of life.
The best time to visit is during the warmer months (spring and autumn) when water visibility is typically excellent. Divers should be comfortable with mild to moderate currents. Freedivers can enjoy the shallower parts of the reef, though awareness of potential currents remains important. Always dive with a buddy and inform someone of your dive plan.
