Paradise is a coral-rich reef dive with caves and overhangs.
Paradise is a coral-rich Red Sea reef dive with caves, overhangs and a shallow profile that works for both scuba and snorkel. The reef sits on a gentle slope, with colorful coral sections and cave-like features giving the site plenty of structure without turning it into a deep dive. Current is the main planning variable, but on calm days the site feels easy to read and full of fish life. Turtles, rays, napoleon wrasse and manta rays in summer are the headline sightings.
