Because of its close to Elphinstone, which is just 3NM away, Abu Dabbab has become a popular site for shallow dives for those who have done a deep dive in Elphinstone, which occasionally makes it crowded on the surface and underwater.

The Loss of the Aida: The Aida was ferrying troops to this island when, on 15 September 1957, she struck the reef and began to sink. The front of this ship is missing. The remainder, however, is virtually intact from a point immediately in front of the bridge deck all the way to the stern. She lies at a steep angle starts from 28m up the reef with her stern at a depth of 60m. The coral growth is outstanding but gets more vibrant as you ascend. The water is exceptionally clear making this wreck a thing of great beauty.

On 19 July 1901 the Numidia crashed onto the rocks on Big Brother Island - less than 500 feet from the Lighthouse! Every effort was made to re-float the ship without success, the Numidia broke and the rear half sank against the Reef with the stern coming to rest at 80m. Left us with the most beautiful shipwreck. There are a number of large deck winches but no cargo booms. At 8-12m, the top of the bridge and accommodation deck is shallowest. Due to the permanent currents an amazing abundance of soft corals claim the wreck, vibrant marine life surrounds the divers when they start to explore the Numidia.
