    The Gorgone II & III site in Aqaba is often a drift dive, following the mild currents along the reef wall. We've found the corals here to be fairly healthy, with plenty of resident reef fish like parrotfish and triggerfish. It’s a pretty easy dive, suitable for all experience levels looking for a relaxed exploration of a typical Red Sea reef. Keep an eye out for the gorgonian fans that give the site its name.
