Descending to 30 meters against the steep reef wall you will see spectacular gorgonian fan corals in huge overhangs and colonies of black coral. Lots of caves and gullies, home to resting sharks. The headland is by far the best bit of the dive, home to a spectacular Red Anemone at about 20 meters. A contrast between multicolored corals against a back drop of deep blue.
Around the corner heading into Marsa Barika the wall gives way to a sandy slope scattered with many coral pinnacles that create a coral garden home to many glassfish, lionfish and some large Malabar groupers.
