Site details

A shallow reef on the northern side of Tiran island, marked by a cascade of large, pristine table corals down the reef wall. It is the resting place of the Kormoran (later Zingara) wreck, which lies parallel to the North Laguna wall within a 12m depth range, making this a calm-day site suitable for all levels.
