About Abu Talha
Abu Talha is a quieter north-Dahab shore site built around a shallow coral garden and reef table that opens into sand patches, pinnacles, and table coral farther along the dive. It stands out for healthy hard-coral structure and regular sightings of open-water visitors such as barracuda, turtles, eagle rays, and schooling triggerfish when conditions line up. The main planning factor is the entry, which crosses a reef top and shallow lagoon before the outer reef. Abu Talha is best treated as a selective-day dive for calm weather and higher tide rather than an everyday easy shore entry.

A reef dive along a shallow coral garden and pinnacles, with an optional route north onto sand and table corals.
