About this site

A coastal reef south of Ras Umm Sid featuring a striking sand canyon and a wall studded with gorgonians and soft corals descending into the blue. The mouth of the canyon and the open wall attract barracuda, jacks, tuna and occasional sharks, while the shallow garden is rich in anthias and reef fish. A varied dive from shore or boat.
