Makabi is an advanced dive site in the Hamata offshore reefs, featuring a dramatic reef structure with sheer walls dropping into the abyss. The site is known for its exceptional soft coral coverage, with walls painted in every shade of purple, orange, and red. Strong currents bring large pelagic species close to the reef, including hammerheads during the right season. The remote location ensures pristine conditions rarely seen elsewhere. Accessible only by liveaboard, Makabi is a bucket-list dive for Red Sea enthusiasts.

Absolutely stunning dive site. The visibility was exceptional and we spotted several species we had never seen before. Will definitely come back.
Great spot for advanced divers. Currents can be tricky but the marine life makes it worth it.
One of the best dive sites in the region. Highly recommended.
