Habili Etnin Arug

Description

Habili Etnin Arug is one of the Red Sea’s most spectacular dive sites, featuring two impressive coral pinnacles that rise from the seabed at around 25 meters depth to just 4 meters below the surface. Renowned for its vibrant coral growth and abundant marine life, this site offers an unforgettable underwater experience for divers and photographers alike.

As you descend along the first pinnacle, you’ll discover walls covered in colorful soft corals, hard corals, and reef life, creating a breathtaking display of color at every depth. A beautiful overhang along the reef often shelters a shimmering school of glassfish, making it a favorite spot for underwater photography.

After exploring the first pinnacle, divers cross a sandy channel of approximately 30 meters, where encounters with schools of barracuda are common. The second pinnacle features stunning soft coral formations that provide excellent opportunities for wide-angle photography and marine life observation.

The site is accessed by boat diving, with the main vessel moored on a nearby reef. Divers are transported by zodiac boat and dropped directly above the pinnacles, allowing for an exciting and efficient entry into this remarkable underwater landscape.
