About this dive site

This dive site, located within Ras Mohammed National Park, is renowned for its stunning atmospheric qualities, particularly during the afternoon when light dramatically illuminates the underwater landscape. The dive begins as a wall exploration, featuring numerous open caverns and caves adorned with striking light beams filtering through the reef plate – creating an ethereal effect within the interior spaces. As the wall transitions into a large plateau, currents tend to increase in speed. This area is frequently associated with sightings of cruising sharks. The dive is conducted as a drift dive and requires access by boat only.
