AccessTemporarily inaccessible as of 2026-09-17. Do not plan or attempt recreational access while official no-travel advice and armed-conflict conditions remain. The site is documented, not represented as bookable or safe. After official advisories change, reconfirm national security, maritime permissions, port and air access, operator status, insurance, emergency oxygen, communications, evacuation and chamber support.
ExperienceAdvanced; strong-current, deep-wall and blue-water experience recommended
Maximum depthUpper and lower plateaus historically described near 25 m and 40 m, with walls deeper
Best seasonNo current recreational season is represented. Historical route material describes seasonal operations, but present conflict and official no-travel advice supersede it.
VisibilityHistorically reported as clear Red Sea water but highly variable with plankton, weather, current and season; no current dive-day conditions are represented.

Automatically checked
No recent diver reports from the past 14 days

A report that passes the automatic checks will appear here with the dive date, diver’s display name, and temperatures at each depth.

Reports are automatically checked for plausible dates, depths, and temperatures. They are observations, not forecasts; confirm conditions before diving.

Before you arrive

Access notes

Temporarily inaccessible as of 2026-09-17. Do not plan or attempt recreational access while official no-travel advice and armed-conflict conditions remain. The site is documented, not represented as bookable or safe. After official advisories change, reconfirm national security, maritime permissions, port and air access, operator status, insurance, emergency oxygen, communications, evacuation and chamber support. Approximate rounded locality display point only—not for navigation and not an entry, launch, mooring, wreck position, reef feature, wall edge, route, descent line or underwater waypoint.

Plan within your training

Conditions and hazards

Armed conflict and maritime-security exposure currently preclude ordinary recreational planning. If access later resumes: remote offshore conditions, current, blue-water separation, boat traffic, heat and limited evacuation capability require an experienced operator, DSMB, conservative gas planning and verified emergency support. The lower plateau is beyond ordinary recreational no-decompression planning for many divers; current and pelagic exposure are significant.

Facilities and support

No current recreational operator, vessel, air or nitrox supply, oxygen, chamber pathway or evacuation service is confirmed for this profile. Historical liveaboard facilities are not evidence of present availability.

Independent resource notice

This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
