El Shugarat is also known as Little Trees because of its large forest of gorgonian fan corals. There is a nice wall along a reef table from where you go down a wall to almost 16 meters deep. There, near a sandy spot on the reef, you will find a great canyon with stunning walls. There are some magnificent pieces of black corals to be found at 30 meters. When you exit this canyon you will find the large area of gorgonians in all its shapes and forms. Napoleons and many other types of marine life are found near these walls which are covered in table, brain and soft corals. Continue diving on top of this forest until you finally get back to the reef and end up in a great lagoon. There you can see nudibranches, stingrays and many other great examples of microscopic marine life. Famous for its gorgonian fans and black coral we strongly advise to visit the deep canyon.

Editor: Lars Hemel Have fun breathing underwater, but breathing above water is even more important!
