Sharm El Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt
The site was originally named "Wichita Falls" because of an almost permanent flow of sand down its canyon, where a small ledge sits above a true sand cascade. A tunnel starts beside the canyon entrance.
Following the reef to the right from the canyon, in the southwest area, there are metallic fragments, old air cylinders and engine remains of the Noose One, a dive boat lost to fire in 1994. Little is left of her now beyond cylinders and engine parts.
North of the canyon there is an eel garden, and the sandy slopes are territory for all kinds of triggerfish. The canyon often shelters large groupers, and the site has a lot of macro life. The bay tends to act as a plankton trap throughout the year, and mantas occasionally move in to feed at the surface.
