On the back of House Reef, you have the chance to dive the Sinkers, a stunning mooring buoy suspended from 8 to 12 meters under the surface of the water. During the Israeli occupation of the Sinai in the 1970’s, this huge buoy was accidentally placed in water 10 meters deeper than the 25 meter long mooring chains. In the years since, this buoy has become a center for a huge variety of different marine life. We slowly circle the chains on the buoy, where there is an abundance of soft corals and Shrimps, ascending into the clouds of Glass Fish, Damsels and Fusiliers circling the buoy itself. On the top of the buoy there is a cleaning station, where Moray Eels can often be found being cleaned by large Banded Cleaner Shrimp. Out in the blue, around the buoy, you can see large Jackfish and Snappers and occasionally Barracuda hunting.
