About this site

The southern section of the El Fanadir reef is a gentle coral slope dotted with pinnacles and sandy patches, prized for macro life such as nudibranchs, ghost pipefish and crocodile fish. Schools of goatfish and anthias hover over healthy hard corals while turtles graze the slope. Calm and shallow, it is a classic check-dive and photography site.
