About this site
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. Lionfish and octopus are regularly found here, and divers have also reported grouper, Klunzinger's wrasse, lined bristletooth, nudibranchs, parrotfish, pipefish, pyjama slugs, Red Sea anemonefish, squid, and sulfur damsels around the reef. Fire coral has been noted near the entry point, so care should be taken to avoid contact there.
