About this site
An elongated, narrow reef in the Straits of Tiran best dived as a one-way drift, with a notable canyon cutting the reef at depth on its eastern side. Currents can be brisk and the open eastern flank brings encounters with eagle rays, tuna, jacks and occasional sharks. Less coral-rich on top than its neighbours but prized for big-fish action and the dramatic saddle.
