Dive-site story
Located along Aqaba's southern coastline, this site takes its name from several coral overhangs and shallow swim-throughs hollowed beneath large Porites formations. Divers explore a gently descending sandy slope dotted with coral heads where nocturnal species shelter during daylight hours. The sheltered bay provides an easy navigation profile along the fringing reef system.
