Offering convenient access from the hotel's private jetty, it provides an easy entry and exit point for divers. The site features a well-defined fringing reef, making navigation straightforward, typically by following the reef edge. No specific historical events or unique stories are associated with this particular dive site beyond its natural formation as part of the Red Sea's reef system.
The reef boasts a surprisingly rich and diverse array of flora and fauna. Divers can explore vibrant hard and soft coral gardens teeming with an abundance of colorful reef fish. The site is also known for potential encounters with larger marine creatures, including graceful turtles, elusive moray eels, and occasionally playful dolphins, which add an element of excitement and unpredictability to the dive.
