Site details

Tower is a dramatic Hadaba-coast site centered on a deep U-shaped canyon whose vertical walls plunge well over 100 m. Divers follow the sheer wall and then a gently sloping reef, often continuing onto the neighbouring Sodfa plateau with its delicate fan corals. The vertical relief and rich reef life make it a popular local wall dive.
