Japanese Gardens

About this site

Named for its manicured coral landscape resembling a Japanese garden. One of the best shore dives in the world with a gentle slope from shallow water to a colorful reef bed. Large schools of anthias play in the sunbeams. Coral transplants from the Saudi border are now flourishing.
