    Ras Nasrani sits on the northern tip of Sharm's coastline, a decent spot for a chilled-out dive. We often find the currents here manageable, making it a good choice for newer divers or when you just want a relaxed afternoon. Keep an eye out for the resident cowfish in the shallower sections, and we’ve spotted bottlenose dolphins cruising the deeper blue a few times, a real treat if they pass through. It's a reliable dive site, offering a pleasant mix without ever being overwhelming.
