| Turtle at Abu Dabab
This fantastic shore dive is perfect for divers and non-divers alike, and as a half day trip you are back in your hotel for lunchtime. Non diving partners will love the opportunity to just sunbathe or have a refreshing dip in the bay of Marsa Abu Dabab where a snorkel in the shallow waters will be full of colourful fish and corals. The diving is amazing though, as you are pretty much guaranteed to get up close and personal with HUGE green turtles grazing in the seagrass meadows - quite often it's a case of losing count of them! Also very commonly spotted are guitar sharks and large whiptail rays. Macro lovers will delight in hairy pygmy pipehorses, robust and slender ghost pipefish and even thorny seahorses - but only if you have good eyesight (or an Emperor guide!) The reef is always close by and perfect if you get bored of diving with turtles(!). Here you'll find soft coral smothered pinnacles, schools of goatfish, scorpionfish and rays of all sizes. Bring a camera!
