ABU HELAL
Egypte
Abu Helal is less visited than the other dive sites in this area. This is mainly due to the strong currents created here in strong winds. This seems to have a beneficial effect on nature. The corals around the lagoon are breathtaking. In addition, you are more likely to encounter the larger and rarer species here.
Particulars
Enter the water from the shore and discover Abu Helal. The dive site is not suited for beginners; bad buoyancy will effect the visibility. Abu Helal can perfectly be combined with the nearby Abu Talha.
Warnings
Beware of strong currents and high waves at the entry point of Abu Helal. The small canyon at 30 meters can be dangerous because of the depth and the narrow swim throughs.
