Where
Beacon Rock, Sha'ab Mahmud
The reef named for the steel beacon on its southern tip — which stands there because of the ship lying upside down just off the wall below it.

Plan: a lap at 6 m and find the boat again. Saw hunting tuna that look pretty big. They were used to divers. Lionfish are fairly well represented here. Near the end we saw an octopus that greeted us colourfully. Nice dive, saw a lot: the octopus, tuna and big hermit crab were the top 3.
