A boat-access reef in Makadi Bay with coral towers on sand, beginner-friendly conditions, and a route that can move from the main reef to smaller ledges.

About Gota Abu Makadi

Gota Abu Makadi is a Makadi Bay reef-and-pinnacle site where coral towers rise from a sandy bottom and the route can move between the main reef and smaller ledges. The site feels varied rather than technical, with calm water on many days, minimal current, and plenty of structure for beginner-friendly scuba, macro hunting, and relaxed boat dives. Expect reef fish around the towers, open sand between them, and a profile that can stretch from the shallow edge into deeper pinnacles.
