Site with so much to see in such a relatively small area are very rare, and this is one of the best examples. and it has sasy entry over grass to where the reef starts at 2 – 3 meters. Lots of interesting invertebrate life in the shallows, from blennies and damsels to butterflies and barracuda, fish life here is plentiful as these pinnacles make a great nursery – and that’s a great start for any food chain.

Seven Sisters snorkeling spot is certainly one of the best-known along the Jordanian coast. Its reef drop off, although less spectacular than South Beach one, located a little further north, allows you to discover nice underwaterscapes. Here, snorkelers can also find a tank dropped at the foot of the reef, which has become home to a large variety of marine life, making this spot famous for divers around the world.

There are two sets of pinnacles, which are the Seven Sister and the Fairy Ring, each has its Own unique ambiance. You will find shoals of Fusiliers everywhere. You can also travel another 60 m south form the fairy jetty or take a boat dive form the mooring at Olivers Canyon, Excellent for novice divers and also for the experienced ones who have been to many deep divers.

With a maximum depth of only 6 meters and just 20 meters from shore. It’s easy of access makes it a fantastic site for dive training, novice divers and snorkelers. It’s also a great place for practicing the art of underwater photography. Located just a short distance from the C-130 Hercules. It’s a great ending to an easy dive and a lengthy safety stop. The largely intact structure makes it a visual treat, and attracts plenty of reef fish. Several moray eels have also made homes in the wreckage.

Seven Sisters snorkeling spot has several points of interest to discover :

The pontoon
Take a look between the pillars of the pontoon installed on the beach. We can discover an atypical underwaterscape, alternating between light and shadow. The pontoon area shelters shoals of small fish, which are often seen by the thousands between the pillars. Their presence attracts some predators, like lionfish and trevallies.

The reef drop off
Seven Sisters drop off is less preserved and steeper than that of South Beach, but it is still worth exploring. You can swim above beautiful colonies of fire and tabular corals, where orange butterflyfish and Red Sea clownfish live, as well as small moray eels and schools of sergeant major.
