Dive-site story
Situated along the tip of the Sinai Peninsula in Ras Mohammed National Park, this submerged plateau sits above a sheer drop-off into the abyss. It serves as a classic starting point for the legendary drift toward Shark and Yolanda Reefs. Large clusters of magnificent sea anemones carpet sections of the coral terrace, while pelagic predators frequently cruise by in the open blue just off the wall.
Extensive colonies of sea anemones with resident clownfish and damselfish
Spectacular blue water crossing over deep water toward Shark Reef
Frequent encounters with roaming pelagics like tuna, barracuda, and jacks along the reef edge
Location

Seasonality
Summer months bring massive fish aggregations to Ras Mohammed, though diving is rewarding year-round.
