Very nice dive site, lot of fishes: groupers, sweetlips,snappers, emperors, trevallies, moray eels, barracudas, stingrays, sea-turtles, spotted eagle rays, white-tip reef sharks... Ideal site for freedivers (like me). Presence of current. Very beautiful marine environment. One hour boat time from Al-Ahlam Marine. Access easy to find only with organized dive trip.
This dive site is average. its easy access makes it popular for people who don't have the time to go for a boat dive. In addition, there is a wreck of a mid size yacht which have sunk since 2005. Drive north from Yanbu City towards Al-Sharm Area. After passing by ARAK Resort, the dive site can be found right after the Coast Guard Center of Al-Sharm.

There is a sink hole before the end of the reef and you can go through it in like a big cave to reach the open sea. it is one of the great places to dive. North the cement Factory by 15 Kilometers.
