Ras Ghozlani

Ras Ghozlani was closed to divers for many years because of a nearby turtle nesting beach. Near the entrance to the bay, the coral pinnacles covered in soft corals and the large Acropora tables look less like a reef than a forest.

The pinnacles are covered in red and pink soft corals and are full of anthias and glassfish. Under the table corals live batfish, glassfish and groupers. On some blocks on the sandy bottom there are large schools of glassfish. You can also see small creatures such as sea slugs, shrimp and clownfish. On the sand there are bluespotted stingrays, pufferfish of the genera Arothron and Diodon, and triggerfish of the genera Odonus and Pseudobalistes. There are also a few solitary individuals of the magnificent sea anemone Heteractis magnifica.
