Why dive here
Ras Ghamila Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ras Ghamila often gets overlooked for some of Sharm's more famous sites, but we always find something interesting here. It's a nice drift, typically, with a gentle slope that holds a surprising amount of fish action, especially if you take your time. Look closely in the rubble areas for Banded Blennies and the tiny Blackline Fangblenny. We’ve even had a few playful encounters with bottlenose dolphins here, which really makes the dive. It’s a good choice for a relaxed afternoon dive, maybe as a second or third dip of the day, when you want to enjoy the reef without too much effort.
