Acerca de Eel Canyon
Eel Canyon es un buceo en cañón con acceso desde la costa, frente a Aqaba, donde surcos arenosos y cornisas de coral crean una ruta que se siente más estrecha y laberíntica que abierta. Las anguilas jardineras dan nombre al sitio, y los salientes suman peces león, rayas y otra vida del Mar Rojo entre las grietas. Funciona bien como una entrada desde costa controlada o una entrada desde barco, pero la forma del cañón, la profundidad y la disciplina en el control de la flotabilidad importan más que la velocidad.

Local Intel For Eel Canyon
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best as a controlled scuba dive with good trim, slow scanning and enough gas margin for the canyon profile.
Freedive
Not a practical freedive target; the canyon and depth are better suited to scuba.
Snorkel
Not recommended for snorkelling because the main features sit too deep for a useful surface read.
