The reef is unspoilt and lilac-blue soft corals are to be found along most of the reef’s length. The coral formations on Captain Hassan’s Reef are often inhabited by orange fairy damselfish. Turtles have been spotted resting among the coral growths, and brightly coloured angelfish and surgeonfish abound.

Further to the west there are some isolated coral heads that attract bigger fish, such as jacks and large slatey sweetlips.

The reef is extremely scenic and ideal for a relaxed and easy dive.
