Jackson reef
is the northern most of the four reefs that separates the Sinai with Saudi Arabia. It’s a popular reef where the large amount of divers can spoil your dive. Advice is that you come early. Snorkelers have to find other reefs since December 2005, when snorkeling tours are not allowed to go to Jackson reef any longer.
The strong currents, often from the North, that are created here in the small opening make sure large pelagic, sharks and other big fish are seen here frequently.
You will see barracudas, jacks, hammerheads and tiger sharks. This reef is also fully covered in beautiful soft and hard coral.
Dives often start in the south, where a fixed mooring exists, then generally going upward along the east side. Be careful if you make it all the way north along the north side of the reef, because divers have been swept off the reef there.

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