About this site

Abu Dabbab III is a freestanding coral pinnacle (erg) rising from the sand offshore near the Abu Dabbab bays, ringed by coral blocks and sandy patches. The tower attracts schooling snapper, barracuda and trevally, with stingrays and morays around the base. Moderate depth and occasional current make it a rewarding intermediate reef dive.
