Kiwi Reef

This dive site, Kiwi Reef, is located in Aqaba, Jordan, and is particularly well-suited for beginner divers due to its shallow entry and sandy bottom. The reef itself extends westward into deeper waters, offering a range of depths suitable for both introductory and more experienced divers. Navigation is generally straightforward, following the reef structure. There is no specific known history or story behind the naming of Kiwi Reef, but the reef's shallow area offers a gentle introduction to the underwater world. The marine life at Kiwi Reef is diverse and includes a variety of bottom-dwelling fish such as stonefish, scorpionfish, crocodilefish, and frogfish. In addition, the reef is home to a vibrant array of colorful coral reef fish. Divers can also expect to see various species of coral and other invertebrates. The best time to visit Kiwi Reef is during the warmer months (spring and summer) when the water is calm and visibility is at its best.
