Tower
Named after a fossil coral tower that marks the start, south of Naama Bay. A vertical canyon plunges to well beyond 100 m; at about 18 m its walls show overhangs full of glassfish and sweepers, and groupers or a resting whitetip may shelter inside. The dive ends on a sloping reef with pinnacles and a large overhang with red sponges.
