The Islands, Dahab
Three coral massifs separated by sand corridors and lagoons — a maze rather than a wall, and the prettiest easy dive on the Dahab coast.

Very beautiful coral, which you swim in between. Saw an unusual sea slug. Barracuda, pufferfish, blue triggerfish. On top of every large coral head sat a little bed of anemonefish. Average heart rate: 85.
