About this site
Catalog

One of the most northerly and lively sites at Taba Heights, Maxwell's is full of coral pinnacles draped in soft coral and surrounded by dense shoals of bright orange anthias. The vibrant fish action and healthy coral never fail to impress, and the site is a regular stop on the daily boat itinerary. Frogfish have historically been a sought-after find here.
