The Seven Sisters

This one is going to be fantastic. It's rare to find a site with so much to see in such a tiny area, and this is one of the greatest. Fish life abounds here, from blennies and damsels to butterflies and barracuda, as these pinnacles serve as excellent nurseries - an excellent start for any food chain.

Larger species are scarce because you are so close to shore (only 30m out) and diving in such shallow, bright water, but that means the corals and sponges are teeming with life. The reef has been invaded by tiny invertebrates and schooling fusiliers. Despite the fact that the dive is short, it keeps getting better.

Seven Sisters should be high on your list of priorities if you want to create beautiful, colorful Red Sea diving images to share with your friends and family. After investigating just one pinnacle, several photographers have returned with a full memory card!

If you're in training or looking for a colorful respite from more hard dive conditions, this dive will be ideal. You'll undoubtedly be hesitant to depart from the pillars. But hold on, there's more to see than the Seven Sisters! Another set of pinnacle reefs called locally as the Fairy Ring just a short swim to the west-northwest — not quite huge enough to merit their own site name, but certainly lovely enough to warrant inclusion in your dive itinerary.
