Some people say the name (Yellowstone) referred to a pinnacle which looks yellow from the surface in the shallow area of the reef and because there is a unique yellow rock sticking up in the desert about 500m inland from the dive site. And some people say it was named after the famous Yellow Stone park in the USA.

The site lies just north of the Tala bay. You will find there two nice pinnacles with lots of red sponges and nudibranches. Swimming over the deeper reef, you will encounter some huge healthy black coral bushes and lots of Lunar Tailed Groupers.

Note that this site is now only accessible by boat.

We organize Boat Trips and daily diving & Snorkeling to this diving site an all other diving spots in Aqaba.
