St John’s Adventure
St John’s is a reef system, not too distant from Rocky Island and Zabargad.
Its underwater scenery comprises many corridors and grottoes, like aquatic caves, during the day illuminated by penetrating sun rays. The visibility is great. St John’s is famous for its diversity of corals, such as black corals, serpentine corals, cabbage corals, staghorn corals and fire corals. Those corals are the perfect décor for blackspotted grunts, blue spotted rays, batfish, parrotfish, chromis, butterflyfish, squirrelfish and anemonefish.

Gota Kebira at St John’s
Large reef ay St. John’s. The northern section has two plateaus that are ideal for spotting whitetip reef sharks and bluespotted stingrays. The current often splits here, making it ideal for shark encounters. The eastern and western sides have deep sloping reefs of predominant brown soft corals; the eastern side is normally dived in the morning and the western side in the afternoon.
In the southeast corner the wall is broken by deep fissures that you can enter and tunnels to dive in. Elsewhere in the south, there is a sloping plateau that unicornfish and rabbitfish make home. The shallows here have many colourful magnificent anemones and green turtles.
