| VIPONE ITINERARY / Straits of Tiran |
 |
This dive area is found in the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba and is only accessible by boat. Unpredictable currents around the reefs and steep drop offs require good diving skills.
Four coral reefs lined up in a row are visible on the surface, named after the British cartographers who mapped the area in the 19th Century - Gordon, Woodhouse, Thomas & Jackson. This area is world famous for its extraordinary diversity of corals. Sights of sharks, turtles and other big fish are possible. Each reef can be dived in a variety of ways depending on the currents on the day.

| 2 wrecks remain on the outside of both Gordon and Jackson reefs, serving as a warning to ships navigating in the narrow straits.
