This is the only dive site in the Straits of Tiran where we can find a sandy bottom area in just few
meters which is suitable also for Snorkeling activity. In the south part this dive site is surrounded
by a sandy plateau which has a depth between 3 and 20-22 meters.
Continuing with the dive you will reach an amazing vertical wall where Green Turtles and
Pelagic Fish such as White Tip Reef Sharks and Grey Sharks can be easily spotted.
