Rocky Oman slope with drift or return options.
Democracy Bay is a rocky slope in the same bay as the Munassir wreck, with a route that can be dived as either a drift dive or a two-way dive depending on the day. The site is especially good for macro life and morays, and when visibility is strong it can also pull in schools of fish such as Indian mackerel and Suez fusiliers. It suits divers who are comfortable reading the conditions and choosing whether to ride the water or turn the dive into an out-and-back exploration.
