Ras Burg

Descend along the wall where some Bluespine unicornfish and schools of fusiliers cruise up to a depth of 20 meters, keeping the wall to your right. After some dozens of meters, you reach a wide chimney with an open summit, recalling the one of Ras Za'atar. in the inside, you can admire a vast number of gorgonians of sparkling yellow colour, Red sponges, siphon sponges, butterflyfish and anthias in its upper part which forms an arch with its roof ascending to 3.5 meters. After having visited the chimney, proceed along the wall from which numerous pinnacles with diverse forms jut out. You reach a second chimney, definitely less impressive than the previous one, whilst ascending gradually to the end of the dive. Hawksbill turtles, jackfish and fusiliers are common visitors to this site. The site which is about 500 meters south of Ras Za'atar is certainly less spectacular, but its wall has a similar configuration and it offers the double advantage of not yet being crowded and is practically intact. The dive starts at a fossil coral pinnacle jutting out of the water for a couple of meters like a tower which gave this site its name.
