About this site
Catalog

El Hibeq, known to divers as 'Sinker', features a large concrete mooring block on a sandy slope beside a coral garden, often combined into two dives in one. The reef carries colourful soft coral, anemone clusters and glassfish, while the sinker and sand attract rays, flatheads and seasonal nudibranchs. It is a relaxed, scenic shore dive close to town.
