Dive Gorgone II – Aqaba’s Coral-Encrusted Reef for Red Sea Explorers

Gorgone II, also known as Gorgone Two, is one of the most vibrant and biologically rich dive sites in Aqaba, Jordan. This site is very similar in the richness of its corals to Gorgon One. The site is named after Gorgonia fan-coral that used to sit at 22m depth and is sadly no longer there. Located within the protected Aqaba Marine Park, this site is renowned for its dramatic coral formations, thriving marine life, and calm conditions—making it a favorite among divers seeking a colorful and peaceful dive in the Red Sea.

A Reef Bursting with Coral Life

Gorgone II is named for the stunning gorgonian sea fan, along with a variety of soft and hard corals that form a dazzling underwater landscape. The reef starts in shallow waters (around 6 meters) and slopes gently down to 30+ meters, making it ideal for:

• Beginner and intermediate divers

• Long, relaxing dives with minimal current

• Underwater photography and macro exploration

The site’s coral health and structural complexity make it a prime example of Aqaba’s thriving reef ecosystem.

What You’ll See at Gorgone II

Divers at Gorgone II can expect an abundance of marine life, including:

• Soft corals in bright reds, oranges, and purples

• Reef fish like damselfish, angelfish, parrotfish, and lionfish

• Occasional sightings of turtles, moray eels, and stingrays

• Rich macro life such as nudibranchs, shrimp, and pipefish

The calm waters and high visibility (often exceeding 25 meters) make this site ideal for underwater photography and peaceful exploration.
