First Bay-North

First Bay-North lies along the Gulf of Aqaba coastline near Aqaba, Jordan, at the northern end of the Red Sea, part of the coastal diving area that runs south toward the Saudi border. The site sits over a reef bottom reaching a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is rated a beginner dive. Divers have reported grouper, lionfish, octopus, and squid around the reef, and fire coral has also been noted here, so contact should be avoided.
