Why dive here
Ras Mohammed is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ras Mohammed remains a classic for a reason. Head out from Sharm el-Sheikh and you'll soon be dropping onto the walls of Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef, a site protected since the 1980s. You'll often find yourself drifting, the current gently pushing you along as schools of trevally and barracuda glide by in the blue. Keep an eye out for the resident reef fish too, a good spot to tick off some Red Sea endemics. It’s a solid drift dive, best for those comfortable with a bit of flow, and always delivers decent pelagic action.
