This location is located in the open sea and is exposed to the weather, so it is not always accessible.
The site is also known as The Deep One. Abu Kifan can be described as a small version of Elphinstone. This long, narrow reef extends from north to south through slender plateaus and is one of the best-known wall dives in the Red Sea.
Schools of butterflyfish and bass fight against the current. You can see large groups of gigantic barracudas in the open water. Hundreds of bright red common bigeye gather across the plains of the plateau. This, together with beautiful 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 extremely popular with underwater photographers.
