Overview
Abu Kifan is reachable in 35 minutes by speedboat from our base.
This site is also known as The Deep Once. Abu Kifan can be described as a small version of Elphinstone. A long, narrow reef extended to the north and south by slender plateaus, this is one of the most renowned wall dives in the Red Sea.
Schools of bannerfish and sweetlips battle the current. Big groups of giant barracuda stake out the open water. Hundreds of bright red common bigeyes aggregated over the flats of the plateau. This, together with superb black corals, soft corals and gorgonias, plus the fact that you can find a good angle at any time of the day, makes this dive site hugely popular amongst underwater photographers.
