Middle Reef
This is a classic paradise of the Red Sea.
The reef has a huge sandy area in the south, a wide shelf on the east and west sides, plus a generous plateau in the north that describes the typical offshore reef of the Red Sea. Drift dives, with the prospect of seeing large predators, can be made on both sides. Ending the dive in the coral garden makes a wonderful safety stop.
This is a classic paradise of the Red Sea. Large brain corals litter the coral garden, soft corals and gorgonians grow on the reef side, along with an abundance of macro life. Small reef fish such as anthias and butterfly fish, schools of fish such as snappers and groupers and large predators such as sharks and barracudas are all represented here.
