Woodhouse Reef

A long, narrow reef in the Straits of Tiran, dived as a one-way drift because there are no moorings. A canyon cuts the northern end, and black coral colonies grow from about 22-26m. Current is strong and the exit has to be planned. Turtles, jacks and reef fish work the wall, with the chance of pelagics passing in the blue.
