Zac s Tables

Zac’s Tables is a reef dive site located at approximately 29.380°N, 34.809°E in the northern Gulf of Aqaba on the Sinai coast. The coordinates place this site south of Nuweiba and north of Dahab — a section of the Sinai coast that is less frequently visited than the Dahab and Taba dive zones but hosts productive fringing reef diving.

Overview

The name “Zac’s Tables” suggests a reef formation characterised by table or plate corals (Acropora table corals are common in the Red Sea at depths of 5–20 metres). The site does not appear in major English-language dive databases, suggesting it may be a local name used by dive centres operating in the Nuweiba or south Taba area rather than a regionally marketed dive site. The mid-Sinai coast in this latitude is characterised by fringing reef systems with a mix of hard coral plateaux (tables), coral slopes, and sandy channels descending to 25 metres or deeper.

The Gulf of Aqaba waters at this location are clear and warm, with good year-round visibility. Shore diving from the Sinai coast in this area typically involves a short walk across a reef flat before descending the outer reef slope. Marine life includes parrotfish, surgeonfish, butterflyfish, chromis, anthias, groupers, and moray eels, with blue-spotted stingrays on sandy patches. Napoleon wrasse and trevally appear at depth.
