Japanese Gardens Dive Site, Aqaba, Jordan

If sharks are to be seen (White Tip Reef sharks) this is where you will see them in the deep blue of the Gulf to your right. At 23 meters at the head of a gully, there is a large Gorgonia Fan coral. From here start working your way into the shallows, keeping an eye out for resident turtles.

The reef begins in shallow water and then gently slopes to the magnificent colourful reef bed. There are very large schools of Anthias (Goldfish) that play with the golden sunbeams while getting their snack of plankton around the pinnacles. Lyre Tail Groupers, Royal Angelfish, Moray Eels, and big Clam Shells are also very common here.
