Southernmost Tiran reef and the Loullia wreck
The southernmost of the Tiran reefs, Gordon is crowned by the dramatic wreck of the Loullia cargo ship grounded on the reef in 1981 and a beacon tower marking the shipping channel. A sandy amphitheatre on the sheltered side hosts the famous 'shark pool' where whitetip reef sharks rest, alongside garden eels, stingrays and a notable barrel-coral garden. Calmer than its neighbours, it suits a wide range of divers.
