Fringing reef / coral slope, generally calm with mild-to-moderate current — all levels
A vibrant, healthy reef just off the coast near Marsa Alam that delivers a classic Red Sea dive with fewer crowds. Large coral blocks and a sloping reef structure descend from about 8 to 25 metres, cloaked in a colourful mix of soft and hard corals teeming with fish. Visibility of 20 to 30 metres and generally easy navigation make Abu Siyal a great choice for long, relaxed dives and underwater photography across all experience levels.
