Rocky+Zabargad+St. Johns

Rocky Island is a mythical site that represents the diver`s dream. The fringing reef that circles the entire perimeter of the island drops steeply to an astonishing depth and the constant currents that flow all along the year promote the growth all different kinds of life in a continuous struggle for a place on the reef. The walls are absolutely covered with the most beautiful soft corals ever found, as well as gorgonians, fans, sponges and black coral trees. Because of its isolated situation and the reduced dimensions of the reef wall, everything seems to concentrate on the surroundings of this small islet. Reef sharks, especially grey and silvertips, you can watch in the blue and may be manta rays, sailfish and dolphins.

The Zabargad Island is a superb dive spot. Here you can dive along walls, hover over drop offs or dive slowly in the shallow area, watching the fish and admire the coral garden. At the north side of Zabargad lays a nameless wreck. The 70m long ship lies upside in 24m depths. The whole stern section is nearly intact- stairs, rail, davit and bridge

Because of the long distance, the St. Johns reef group is quite virginal. You will find here exciting drop offs. The wall of one of the reefs is overgrown with big gorgonians; the wall of the other reef is overgrown with all kinds of colorful soft corals. You will find here a lot of fish and in the blue you can see with a little luck big fishlike hammerhead, grey sharks, silvertip and whitetip reef sharks and barracudas, tunas and mackerels.
