About this dive site
This dive site, Ras Ghozlani, is a relatively shallow reef system in the Red Sea, reopened to divers after a period of closure to protect a nearby turtle nesting beach. Navigation is straightforward, generally following the reef structure, which consists primarily of beautiful table corals and pinnacles. The site's history centers around its conservation efforts, highlighting a successful balance between environmental protection and sustainable tourism.
The abundant marine life includes a variety of hard coral species, red anemones, and large schools of glassfish inhabiting the pinnacles. Sea turtles are frequently sighted, along with many other typical Red Sea fish species. The rich coral ecosystem supports a diverse range of smaller creatures, perfect for macro photography enthusiasts.
The best time to visit Ras Ghozlani is during the warmer months (April-October) when visibility is typically excellent, and the water temperature is comfortable. While currents are generally mild, divers and freedivers should check the conditions on the day. Caution should be exercised in areas with strong surge to avoid damage to the delicate coral structures.
