Site details

Gorgon I is a shallow, easily accessed reef dive in the Aqaba Marine Park, named for two large gorgonian sea fans found on the site. The reef carpets a gentle slope to about 18 m with dense hard and soft coral cover and clear water, making it well suited to beginner and newly certified divers. Shallow pinnacles host moray eels, lionfish and coral groupers.
