Egypt
The name Maxwell's honors the eldest son of the diver who discovered the site.
In May 2014, a massive flood came down from the mountains, swept through the Taba Heights resort into the sea and carried a large amount of silt and debris, affecting the dive sites in the area. After that, most of the sites in the area went without visits for almost a decade.
Dense schools of bait fish draw the rest of the life, and there are also dense schools of orange anthias. In May 2024, octopus, grouper, lionfish, crocodilefish and puffers were seen. Spanish dancers show up even in daylight, and there are also stone fish, turtles, sting rays and table corals.
