Positioned along the coast opposite Gordon Reef, Ras Ghamila features an expansive shallow plateau dominated by large table corals and sandy channels before sloping out toward deeper water. Divers generally run this site as a gentle drift dive. Currents push along the reef wall where gorgonian fans and schooling reef fish cluster in clear water.
Extensive field of wide table corals spread across a sandy terrace
Frequent encounters with foraging green sea turtles along the reef top
Sheltered drift profiles suitable for taking wide-angle reef photographs
