Jackson reef is one of the best dive sites on the Red Sea. The reef is very rich of different corals thanks to the corrents which can be extremely strong. On the southern side we can admire the coral garden rich of gorgonias splendid anemon sea numerous fire coral pink violet and red soft corals. Big school of Yellowsaddle goatfish, multicolor angelfish and almost complete range of reef fish are present here from the small anthias to the large Napoleonfish. On the garden is very easy to see big turtle eating soft coral.
