Jackson Reef isn't just a dive site; it's a portal to a world where history meets vibrant marine life, creating an unparalleled diving experience.

Jackson Reef Location:

Jackson Reef is situated in the Tiran Strait, marking the northernmost reef among the four that form the Tiran Islands. Positioned in the Red Sea, Tiran is part of the underwater wonders near Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt.

This strategic location places Jackson Reef at the crossroads of the Gulf of Aqaba, the Gulf of Suez, and the main body of the Red Sea.

It's a sought-after destination for divers eager to explore the rich marine life and historical remnants beneath the waves.

Dive into History at Jackson Reef: The Saga of the Lara Shipwreck

Jackson Reef narrates a captivating story etched in its waters. In 1981, a Cypriot merchant ship, the Lara, found itself stranded on the reef due to a lack of fuel.

Witness to this maritime drama, the reef became a refuge for the crew for two years until the Lara eventually sank in 1996. Today, the remnants of the Lara serve as a testament to this intriguing chapter in maritime history, attracting divers seeking both adventure and historical immersion.

Unique Underwater Experience:

What sets Jackson Reef apart is its ability to offer divers a truly unique underwater experience. The south plateau, recognized as one of Jacques Cousteau's top 10 dive sites, beckons with soft corals, creating an ethereal ambience often described as a "raining fish" spectacle.

The careful navigation around the reef ensures both safety and the opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring underwater landscapes.
Jackson Reef is not merely a stage for historical remnants; it's a bustling ecosystem teeming with marine diversity.

As you descend into its depths, you'll encounter an underwater metropolis where schools of fish paint the reef in a kaleidoscope of colours.
From graceful turtles enjoying their lunch to schools of anthias, wrasses, fusiliers, and more, every dive unfolds a vibrant tapestry of marine wonders.
