Site details

A Ras Mohammed wall dive whose porous reef face holds several short, penetrable caves with separate entrances and exits, the first opening around 6m and running roughly 40m through the reef. Beyond the wall the site offers a coral garden sloping from 10 to 18m that ends at a satellite reef, often dived as a gentle drift.
