A vertiginous dive on a very colorful drop off. The Aida 2 (1958), an Egyptian army boat supplying the islands and carrying the relief of the guards, is barely 100 meters from the Numidia at a depth of 30 to 63 m. It is not uncommon to come across a thresher shark in this area. The small island made up of the same rock as the large one, measures approximately 200 m long. It is a real nugget.
