Extra Divers Ras Nasrani - Sharm el-Sheikh
Extra Divers at Ras Nasrani offers a solid base for exploring the northern reaches of Sharm el-Sheikh's sites. We like that it's often a bit quieter up here than the bustling Naama Bay area, making for a more relaxed start to your dive day. They run daily boat trips to the Straits of Tiran and local sites, so you'll easily hit the likes of Jackson Reef and Thomas Canyon. For those who prefer to keep things shore-based, the house reef at Ras Nasrani itself is surprisingly good, particularly for an afternoon exploration dive when the light softens, revealing schooling bannerfish and the occasional blue-spotted stingray. It’s a good choice if you’re staying locally and want reliable, no-fuss diving.
