Rocky IslandJust, over 5Km south east of Zabargad, Rocky is another low lying reef with steep walls falling away into the abyss. More exposed that Zabargad Island Liveaboards tend not to overnight here. The north face takes the brunt of the prevailing weather and currents so the corals fare less well but the flip side is the presence of numerous pelagic species notably hammerheads, aswell as large groupers and Napoleon Wrasse. The coral growth is best on the east side with coral blocks and open plateau.
Rocky is also the resting place of the wreck of the Maiden, very much a deep wreck for tech divers only.
