About this dive site

This dive site, located within the renowned Ras Mohammed National Park in Sharm el Sheikh, is celebrated for its diverse underwater landscapes and suitability for a wide range of experience levels. The dive begins at approximately 14 meters, descending gradually to meet a plateau extending 30 meters towards a deeper drop-off around 20 meters. Further exploration leads past 40 meters. The site offers a gentle drift dive, allowing divers to explore the reef wall on either side, admiring the abundance of soft corals along the slope. Keep an eye out for 'the blue,' a deep area that occasionally hosts sightings of magnificent Manta Rays or even Whale Sharks. Currents are generally light and infrequent, making it suitable for extended periods of observation and enjoyment. This location is consistently popular with divers.
