About this site
Despite the name, Dangerous Reef is one of the most rewarding sites in the St. John's group. A pair of pinnacles and a connecting saddle drop into the deep south of Egypt's territorial waters. The southern pinnacle is a known cleaning station for grey reef sharks; oceanic whitetips and silky sharks pass on the outer wall. Currents are unpredictable — divers stay close to the reef and ascend along the line.
Highlights
- Cleaning station for grey reef sharks on the southern pinnacle
- Pelagic encounters in the saddle between pinnacles
- Steep walls dropping past 40 m
- Untouched soft-coral and gorgonian cover
