Difficulty

Fairly sheltered south of the Giftun Islands — good for all levels and training; easy to lose direction among the pinnacles
Not one site but three: Erug Diana, Erug Giftun and Erug Gigi — clusters of seven, seven and eleven coral pinnacles spread over a vast sandy plain north of Gota Abu Ramada. With so many look-alike towers, navigation by compass, current or sun angle matters more here than depth. The pinnacle tops are the prettiest part, which makes the safety stop one of the highlights of the dive.

What You Might See

Several species of moray eel Typical Red Sea reef fish around every pinnacle
