About this site
Catalog

Gamul Kebir is a larger reef of scattered coral outcrops set in sand around 14 to 15 m, requiring a short swim from the mooring to reach the best formations. The outcrops teem with anthias, orange-lined cardinalfish, yellowbar angelfish and sergeant majors, with sea moths and soapfish for the patient observer. It is a relaxed, fish-rich dive suited to intermediate divers.
