A terraced plateau beneath a shallow wall at the southern tip of Abu Ramada Island, stretching west as a shelf toward a drop-off. The route reads like a treasure map: an eel garden halfway across the shelf, a hill-shaped coral formation clinging to the drop-off edge, a chain of pinnacles leading home — and the wreck of an old safari boat resting on a raised coral garden at 5 metres, which turns the safety stop into a bonus dive.
