About Dugais Main Reef
Dugais Main Reef is a boat-access Red Sea atoll off Jeddah with a shallow reef top and a deeper outer slope. It is a good fit for snorkeling, easy scuba, and repeat reef dives, and the reef is known for clear winter water, soft and tree corals, colorful hard corals, and common Red Sea fish. The wide profile gives plenty of room to move between the reef top and the outer edges without turning the dive into a drift or deep challenge.
