About this site
Catalog

Abu Talha is a northern site of rolling coral hills descending toward a small canyon at around 38–39 m, popular for deep-diver training. The undulating terrain shelters triggerfish, potato grouper, rays and schools of juvenile barracuda among scattered coral heads. Its gentle slopes and dependable marine life make it a quiet alternative to the busier Blue Hole area.
