Diving with Aquanaut onboard the MV Winner. This dive site is known for the ledge running out to sea, which divers cross in about 6 meters on their way to and from the large coral garden. The ledge is covered in very colorful hard corals and clams in varying sizes and colors. The coral garden is more like a coral landscape than the traditional coral garden and there is a chance to spot an eagle ray, barracuda or even dolphins out along the ridges.

Abu Nugar means the father of the pools and this because of the many holes you can find in the main reef.

The main reef is famous for its big variety of hard corals and many ergs are found there. Beautiful table corals and coral clusters are scattered around. Yellow and purple gorgonians, horn corals and brain corals are also to be found on this dive site.

Due to the amazing visibility, Shaab Abu Nugar is a great dive site for both beginners and advanced divers for long dives.
