Twins reef - Jeddah

Twins reef, off Jeddah, presents two distinct coral pinnacles rising from the depths. We often find schooling fusiliers here, along with the occasional reef shark patrolling the edges. It’s a site that works well for divers comfortable with open water and those looking for straightforward coral exploration. The currents can pick up, so keep that in mind.
