The Islands

The island is a very rich spot regarding the reef developments and the marine life we could see and it situated about only 5 minutes from Mirage Divers at the beginning of the sand strip of the lagoon of Dahab.
The entrance of the island is marked by a white sign on the outside and it is best when high tide as it is a wide reef platform.
When low tide you can see a small island of reef a bit further inside and that’s where it got its name from.
We start the dive by having a series of 3 hard coral pools 7-10 meters with sandy bottom surrounded by soft and hard corals everywhere. We start our adventure by swimming north-east direction passing by 3 shallow reef saddles separating the pools from each other with having endless amount of reef all over the place afterwards we will get enjoyably lost admiring the rich fauna of the place to a max. Of 18 meters and this lost will end up in the same spot where we started and then we can exit through a little tunnel to the wide platform again. Yellow tail barracudas, groupers, lionfish, napoleon wrasses and much more we should be able to see in the islands.
