Seven Sister Dive Site, Aqaba, Jordan

Seven Sisters dive site has easy entry over the grass to where the reef starts at 2 – 3 meters. Lots of interesting invertebrate life in the shallows…

Swim through the pinnacles and then turn in towards the shore to another set of pinnacles “the Fairy Ring”…. Continue south at 8 meters. Their patchy coral makes way for grass and sand till you will see in 6 meters an M42 anti-aircraft tracked vehicle (“The Tank”) scuttled in September 1999 to create an artificial reef.

With a maximum depth of only 6 meters and just 20 meters from shore. Its ease of access makes it a fantastic site for dive training, novice divers and snorkelers. It's also a great place for practising the art of underwater photography. Located just a short distance from the C-130 Hercules. It's a great ending to an easy dive and a lengthy safety stop. The largely intact structure makes it a visual treat and attracts plenty of reef fish. Several moray eels have also made homes in the wreckage.

Here are seven pinnacles of coral vie for your attention over a solid coral reef. Luckily the depth is only 8-9 meters so you can enjoy the wonders each has to offer. Big Eye Emperor and shoals of Fusiliers live around these pinnacles.
