Condition-sensitive north Dahab shore entry usually planned for high tide and calm seas, sometimes drifting south into Abu Helal.
About Abu Telha
Abu Telha is a quieter north Dahab reef dive with a shallow coral pool, hard-coral garden, and a reef slope that opens into bigger blue-water terrain toward the Canyon side of the coast. When conditions line up, the site offers vivid table coral, clean topography, and a more remote feel than the town-front reefs. It is usually planned as a high-tide shore entry in calm weather, and many teams run it as a southbound drift that exits at nearby Abu Helal. Divers come here for colorful hard coral, less traffic, and the chance of seeing passing rays, turtles, barracuda, and other Red Sea reef life.
