Name divesite: Jackson Reef
Depth: 0-40m (0-131ft) and deeper

Accessibility: Boat
Time to visit: All year around with warmest water in summer (apr-aug)
Specifications: Be prepared to handle the current, plan this dive well. Diving next to a huge vertical wall of coral. The current and waves make this a divesite with a heavy surge. The strong current makes this a perfect drift dive. This dive has a lot of marine life. This dive site is also perfect for snorkeling. This is a deep dive, plan it well.

Jackson reef Some of the hammerheads frequently seen hereis 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. The reef from out of the helicopterYou 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.
