Why dive here
Ras Bob is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ras Bob offers a relaxed dive, perfect for beginners or those getting back in the water. It’s a shallower site, dropping to around 21 metres, with good visibility most days. Expect to see a decent selection of reef fish, some smaller morays tucked into the rocks, and often blue-spotted rays on the sandy patches. We find it’s a solid option for a gentle introduction to Sharm’s reefs.
