Red Sea / Sharm el Sheikh / Ras Mohammed / Jackfish Alley
  
  Description    
  
 

The name Jackfish Alley derives from the white sandy road that runs between the coral ledge bordering the coast and a parallel satellite reef, in which Mackerel and other predators frequently linger. This dive is usually carried out as a drift dive. After descending to approximately 5 meters you will immediately see the entrance to the first cave, which penetrates the reef for about 40 meters.

     

 
 

Diving further, with the reef on your right, you will come to a large coral outcrop, at approximately 14 meters' depth, where vis-à-vis another cave lies that runs steeply upwards and has its exit at 6 meters. Diving further, in a southwest direction, you will meet the second coral outcrop, which is heavily overgrown with with corals and inhabited by a colony of Glassfish. Once again, continue to proceed southwest, past a zone rich in madrepores, you will come across the beginning of a sandy alley at18-20 meters`depth. In this area Whitetip reef sharks, Manta rays, and aside from the Jackfish, Triggerfish as well as Bluespotted stingrays, have often been spotted.
