Gordon Reef, Tiran

Located at the southernmost part of the Straits of Tiran, Gordon Reef is a vibrant dive site offering a mix of coral gardens, sandy slopes, and an impressive wreck resting on its surface. The site is suitable for all levels of divers, featuring mild currents, excellent visibility, and diverse marine life.

The reef’s shallow areas, ranging from 5 to 20 meters, are covered in hard and soft corals, providing shelter for countless reef fish. The deeper sections, dropping beyond 30 meters, attract larger species, including eagle rays and reef sharks. The moderate currents make it a great spot for relaxed drift dives.
One of Gordon Reef’s most iconic features is the wreck of the Loullia, a Panamanian cargo ship that ran aground in 1981. While the wreck itself is above water, the surrounding reef formations make for an exciting underwater landscape.
