Makadi Bay coral plateau with a shallow start and deeper drop-off.
Abu Makadi Middle is a Makadi Bay reef site with a coral plateau that starts shallow and slopes into a deeper drop-off. It gives divers an easy scenic profile, a mix of coral structure and open water, and plenty of places for reef fish to gather. The site works well for relaxed boat dives where you can move slowly across the plateau, check the drop-off, and watch for camouflaged critters on the coral.
