Seven Sisters

The Seven Sisters and Tank is one of the most popular dive sites in Gibraltar and is definitely a sight not to be missed when you dive in Aqaba as it gathers both wreck and reef diving! The tank (an American M42 anti-aircraft tank) was sunk in 1999 by the Jordanian Royal Ecological Diving Society (JREDS) in order to create an artificial reef. It is set at 6 meters and is perfect to enjoy while diving and snorkeling.

In the north of the tank, you will find the ‘seven sisters’, a bunch of pinnacles covered with hard corals in shallow water. Lots of interesting invertebrate life in the shallows, from blennies and damsels to butterflies and barracuda, fish life here is plentiful as these pinnacles make a great nursery – and that’s a great start for any food chain. Those two dive sites can be done in one dive and are ideal for beginner divers or for experienced ones who like to enjoy casual long dives. This dive is suitable for both divers and snorkelers with its very shallow and colorful reef.
