Here you can see the telecommunication cable that connects Egypt and Jordan. Also, you can follow this reef to the Cedar Pride Wreck when diving from the shore. A deeper gulley runs down the Northside of the reef-forming a nice wall along the side of the reef.

In 1996 electrical cables were laid down in Egypt. There are four cables running out over the seabed, the two cables to the North run through a deep canyon. Here the reef has been shored up on either side to prevent it from collapsing on the cables. Large steel netting covers the reef to the North and South, coral is now growing through this.

Large metal tubes straddle the canyon preventing collapse. These are now a habitat for soft corals and sponges, you might also spot an octopus or Spotted Eagle Ray here.
