It means the Cape of the Growing moon or Headland of the Crescent’
It is only 7 Km from Dahab and 3 Km south of the canyon,
The dive start by descending to a sandy lagoon with a semicircular shape at a depth of 7-12 meters, we keep the reef on the left and start exploring the amazing coral garden which is the best part of the dive.
The western wall descend of the promontory descends into the blue and at the depth of 30 meters you can find the small canyon ( try to avoid exploring it) and enjoy the surrounding coral garden. And if we target north will se a sandy seabed (which is an option as an exit) or we complete our circle to the shallow lagoon and exit from there.
A lot of lionfish, groupers, unicorn fish, and often we spot a turtle as well.
