About this site
Catalog

A shallow sandy plateau within Ras Mohammed bay carpeted with a large colony of garden eels swaying in the current, flanked by coral bommies rich in reef life. Frequently dived as a gentle second site after the big Shark/Yolanda dive, it also offers seagrass beds where turtles graze. Calm conditions suit relaxed exploration and macro photography.
