Abu Dabab 2 (Gota Abu Dabab 2, 'Abu Dabbab Ithnain') is an offshore reef about 3.5 km east of the Abu Dabab bay; the map shows it with the pinnacle-strewn gap to Abu Dabab 3, the Heaven One wreck, the canyon and the coral gardens. Reef outlines and the wreck position from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL); the pinnacles, canyon and depths are approximate, with the orientation assumed north-up. Heaven One is a burnt-out liveaboard (sunk 2003 per OSM, 2005 per other sources; 24 m per one web source) whose length is not known, so it is a symbol, not a hull outline. The drift line is a typical route, not a signed trail; positions are approximate.

The Abu Dabab name covers a run of numbered sites along the coast north of Marsa Alam. Abu Dabab II is one of the offshore coral reefs rather than the dugong bay: pinnacles and hard-coral gardens on sand in 10–20 m, with an overhang system on the seaward side.
Dived 29 July 2007 to 14.1 m.
