Three miles west of Ras Mohamed, a series of outcropping coral pinnacles extends east-west for about 1.5miles on the southern edge of Sha’ab el-Utat. As it is well sheltered, it offers the opportunity to make alternative dives when conditions in the open sea are prohibitive. The classic dive goes around the two middle pinnacles, which are in line with a fixed mooring. Due to its position this site has tidal currents that greatly influence visibility, which can be quite poor when the current come from the south, especially if accompanied by wind and waves. If, on the other hand, the sea is calm and the current is either lacking or is coming from the north, you can enjoy Alternatives swarming with fauna where you can find numerous coral genera, large groupers, Bluespotted stingray, squids, nudibranchs and even Leopard sharks
