Kormoran is a shallow wreck and reef site located in the Strait of Tiran, serving as an artificial reef structure. The site sits at depths between 6 and 12 metres, with an average depth of 10 metres. Visibility typically ranges from 20 to 25 metres. Access is by boat only, and the site is suitable for beginners, though moderate currents require attention. The wreck features enclosed sections that create an overhead environment; divers should remain outside these areas unless accompanied by a guide. Maintain a distance from the structure to avoid contact with sharp coral or metal. Early morning boat departures are recommended to avoid stronger currents that may develop during the day.

The current at Kormoran can pick up through the middle of the day, so an early morning boat departure generally gives you calmer, more comfortable conditions. Let your divemaster know before the dive whether you want to look inside any sections of the wreck, as the overhead environment requires specific guidance for beginners.
