Ras Ghamila

Ras Ghamila lies almost directly opposite Gordon Reef. The side is easy to find because of the green beacon that marks the western end of the Strait of Tiran. The reef itself separates a shallow sandy lagoon from the sea and is an interesting place for a drift dive. On a sandy plateau at a depth of about 15 m observe coral formations. On the plateau you can find huge table corals. Reef and pelagic species move around and giant triggerfish often pass by. End your dive before the beacon to avoid strong current that might take you out into big swell where recover can be difficult.
