About this site
A superb coral garden sitting on a large coral block within the sheltered inner lagoon of Shaab El Erg. Huge table and brain corals rise from a sandy bottom around 11 metres, surrounded by schools of bannerfish, butterflyfish and masked pufferfish. The calm, shallow conditions make it a favourite for training and easy second dives.
