About this dive site
This dive site offers a unique and rewarding experience for experienced divers. The entry point, "Bells", is a crack in the reef-table leading down to 28 meters through a natural chimney. This underwater passage provides access to a stunning wall characterized by abundant coral overhangs, creating an environment teeming with Red Sea fish. The dive begins with an initial descent along this impressive wall. Divers are encouraged to explore the blue areas surrounding the wall, where larger marine life may be spotted. A gradual shallowness leads to a beautiful coral saddle at approximately 7 meters, providing a suitable location for completing a safety stop. From there, divers can choose to continue along the wall on the right or left-hand side, or even swim through the blue zone. This dive is recommended only for Advanced Open Water Divers due to its depth and potential for currents.
