Fiddle Garden

As you sail north from Naama bay the very next bay is “The Gardens” closest to Naama bay is Near Garden, furthest away is Far Garden, in the middle is of course Middle Garden and between middle and far is Fiddle Garden
Fiddle Garden The reef wall descends to 6-8 meters on to a sandy sloping bottom that gradually drops away to 18 meters at the drop off, following the edge of the drop off with the reef on the left there is a glassfish pinnacle between 10 and 16 meters. 

This pinnacle was featured on a British children’s wildlife program where a challenge was given to get your teeth cleaned underwater, if you dare, take out your regulator and see if the cleaner wrasse will clean yours. 

At the turning point of the dive there are 3 pinnacles in a row, the last one is also swarmed by glassfish, look carefully within the glassfish as often baby barracuda are hiding amongst them, lionfish hang around ready for lunchtime. Just behind this pinnacle in about 6 meters is part of an amphoras believed to have come from a shipwreck 400 years ago that sank farther up the coast. Hunt around for stone fish on the journey back to the boat as there are a few in the area.
