Overview

Here are the wrecks Cormorant and Million Hope. Both wrecks are located north of Laguna Reef and there must be good weather to dive them.

Description

This reef is named after its magnificent coral lagoons.

The north lagoon is located in the area of the green and white lighthouse.

North of the lighthouse is the wreck of the Italian bulk freighter Kormoran. The ship was built in 1963 in the Rostock Neptune shipyard for the Italian shipping company "Compagnia Montemare di Navigazione". In 1976 the ship was renamed Adamastos and in 1980 Zingara.

The ship was 82.4 meters long and 12.6 meters wide with a tonnage of 2,730 gross tons.
Coming from Aqaba, the ship, loaded with phosphate, ran aground on the reef on August 21, 1984 and sank.

Hotspots

  • As a rule, the south lagoon is dived.
  • The destination is not the lagoon itself, but the western outer side of the reef, which surprises with beautiful table corals, gorgonians, fire corals and soft corals and occasionally white tip reef sharks and leopard sharks in the area of the south lagoon.
