Jackson Reef is one of the best in the Sinai region. Its steep-sided walls are coloured by black corals, dangerous green and orange fire corals and luxurious gorgonian sea fans. There is a wreck nearby, although it is predominantly just the frame of this once large freighter that has since been salvaged for scrap. That and the nutrient-rich waters have resulted in plenty of schooling fish and reef fish in the area as well as white tip and grey reef sharks
