  • By sasha boole
    One of the favourite places in a Red Sea. "Must dive" spot!
  • By Petr Hůla
    It's a pretty touristy reef but for a good reason! You can see many big fish - barracuda, napoleon, tuna - and also sharks! Even though there're so many people it's definitely worth diving there!
