Black Rock

The Black Rock - one of the best dive sites in Jordan, is extremely accessible. It's perfect for snorkelers and visitors to the area. As a result, a coral garden begins just beneath the surface and spreads outwards for around 30 meters before abruptly disappearing.

The former Tourist Camp is located on the northern side of Wreck Bay. Swim out and pick up the reef on the right, then swim down to the planned depth, which is normally around 25 meters. Massive coral slopes and valleys with massive black coral "bushes" can be found as you travel north. Emperor, Snapper, Crocodile Fish, Lyre Tail, tiny Trigger Fish, Wrasse, Parrot Fish, Lion Fish, Scorpion Fish, Box Fish, a variety of Butterfly Fish, and Turtles are also common visitors.

The reef is teeming with fish, and if you're lucky, you might spot one of the turtles that frequent the area. A new highlight of this dive location is the shoals of small fish that assemble beneath the new jetty at Club Berenice, offering food for several predators such as Lionfish and Barracuda.

Several Frogfish can be found perched on the pier legs if you look closely. The sea grass region to the south is worth a look, with several grey Morays and the occasional Seahorse can be found. Massive coral slopes and valleys with massive black coral "bushes" can be found as you travel north. Hawksbill turtles frequent this area.
