About First Bay North
First Bay North is an easy-access reef in Aqaba that starts over a sandy patch before rising into coral formations and a gently sloping reef with scattered pinnacles. The route covers a lot of terrain in a relaxed profile, making it a good site for broad reef touring and photography. Shore entry is common, but a short boat drop can help maximize the drift-friendly line along the reef.
