A local guide helps with reserve rules, the best route and where to turn between the pinnacles.
Seven Sisters is a shallow coral-pinnacle dive off Aqaba, where a cluster of reef towers rises from sand and creates an easy, photo-friendly route. The site is known for bright shallows, schooling fish and the nearby Tank extension, so you can spend a long dive moving slowly between pinnacles instead of chasing distance. It works well from shore or boat, but calm water and tight buoyancy matter most because the corals start close to the surface.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight over the pinnacles and avoid brushing coral when crossing the sandy gaps.
Access Restrictions
Use the marked shore entry or a local boat mooring, and stay on the planned reef line so you do not stray across the pinnacles.
Legal Notes
Treat the coral pinnacles as protected reef habitat; do not touch, stand on or break the coral.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A long, relaxed scuba profile lets you move between pinnacles and the nearby Tank area without rushing.
Freediving
Freediving can work on the shallow pinnacles in calm conditions, but a guided plan is still the safer choice.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling works well on the shallowest parts because the pinnacles start close to the surface.
