Gorgone I Aqaba

Explore Gorgone I – Aqaba’s Hidden Gem for Coral Diving

Gorgone I (also known as Gorgone One) is one of the best-kept secrets in Aqaba’s Marine Park, offering a spectacular and serene dive experience in the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. Known for its large gorgonian sea fans, vibrant coral structures, and diverse marine life, this site is a favorite among experienced divers and underwater photographers.

A Coral Wonderland Beneath the Surface

The dive site gets its name from the impressive gorgonian coral (sea fan) that dominate the underwater landscape. These delicate, tree-like corals thrive in the mild current, creating a mesmerizing underwater forest. The reef gently slopes from shallow waters down to about 35 meters, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced divers.
