Jackson Reef

Northernmost of the four Tiran reefs, Jackson takes the full push of water entering the strait, and its flanks show the reward: gorgonian fans, dense soft coral, and reef fish stacked into the current lines. The salvage-cut remains of the freighter Lara, wrecked in 1981, still mark the reef crest as a landmark. Most dives drift the southern and eastern faces in moderate flow, but when conditions allow, boats drop experienced groups off the northern point to hang in open blue - in summer, scalloped hammerheads patrol that deep edge. Eagle rays, turtles, and grey reef sharks round out a site that rarely repeats itself two days running.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Summer hammerhead drops off the north point; gorgonian-covered walls; the Lara's remains on the crest.

खतरे: Strong, shifting current; blue-water descents on the north side; boat traffic in the strait.

परमिट और नियम: Tiran marine-park fee applies.

Nitrox: यहाँ इसका फ़ायदा है — प्रोफ़ाइल उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop समय को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
