Gorgon I is a reef dive site in the Red Sea featuring three pinnacles draped in lush corals, with depths ranging from 5 to 18 metres (maximum around 17.5 m). The pinnacles rise from a vibrant coral bed and are suited to divers of all levels as well as snorkelers and underwater photographers. Two boat moorings are in place, and entry is possible from shore or by boat, with drift diving available.
The reef holds a diverse Red Sea ecosystem across and between the pinnacles, including large schools of colourful fish, emperor fish, glassfish, grouper, lionfish, and cleaner shrimp gathered at a cleaning station. Hawksbill turtles are regularly encountered during dives, along with barracuda, moray eels, royal angelfish, and giant clam shells.
The site is rated suitable for beginners through to advanced divers, and also supports snorkelling and glass-bottom boat activities. Beach services are available at the site.
