One of the most extraordinary days of the week. Rocky Island: vivid blue water, visibility to 80m, sharks on the south point, dramatic drop-off dives in all conditions. Zabargad: the Hanka wreck — a Soviet spy ship now covered in coral, in the island's lagoon. Dive the miraculous coral gardens on the south step.
