Night diving is permitted here and the reef genuinely transforms after dark, so pack a torch if your certification and experience allow. Watch your buoyancy carefully on descent and ascent: the urchin and sharp coral density near the entry point makes poor control costly.
The reserve is located opposite the Eilat Field School on the road from Eilat to the Taba border-crossing.
