The reef has a huge sandy area in the south, a broad shelf on the east and west sides, plus a generous plateau in the north that describes the typical Red Sea offshore reef. Drift dives, with the prospect of seeing large predators, can be made on both sides. Ending the dive in the coral garden makes for a wonderful safety stop.
This is a classic Red Sea paradise. Large brain corals lie in the coral garden, soft corals and gorgonians grow on the side of the reef, together with an abundance of macro life. Small reef fish such as anthias and butterflyfish, schooling fish such as snappers and sweetlips, and large predators such as sharks and barracuda are all represented here.
