This dive site, located north of Gamul Kebir, presents a unique underwater landscape. The area features distinct blocks adorned with beautiful soft corals. Barracuda sightings are common, contributing to the site’s nickname, ‘Barracuda House.’ Sea grass meadows provide habitat between these coral formations. Diving conditions can vary; strong winds often make diving difficult during winter months, although the southern reef typically offers easier access. It's a fascinating area for exploring diverse marine life and coral structures.
