On the south side, you can also admire the sunken wreck by snorkelling, which, at about 3 metres from the surface, allows you to admire the coral reef that colonised the sunken vessel.

This bay with a sandy entrance will lead you to a wall on the north side that drops 25 metres before rising to a "carpet" of eels at a depth of about 17 metres. The northern side is rich in Acrophora, making it an excellent place to spot crocodile fish, shrimps and nudibranchs. You will be fascinated by its numerous pinnacles teeming with glassfish and lionfish on the prowl.

This beautiful coral reef is a Red Sea legend and stretches for more than a mile about three miles from the coast. It has a plateau to the north and one to the south, with two walls plunging into the deep blue. Continuous exposure to strong currents has turned this reef into an explosion of life and colour, easy to encounter the majestic oceanic whitetip shark Longimanus.
These pristine waters are also home to corals of all species, such as huge gorgonians fans, octocorals and black corals, and numerous reef fish.
This dive is only suitable for divers with an advanced certificate and a minimum of 50 logged dives.
