Entry / access
boat

The dive follows a wall riddled with crevices and a couple of swim-through caves, then crosses a sand plateau and coral garden to a small satellite reef about 50 m offshore. The drop-off at that outer reef often carries more current and draws larger fish. It is usually run as a drift from Sharm El Sheikh day boats.
