South Sinai · 5–20 m
Ras Katy is the first dive site reached from the main marina at Sharm el Mina, with boats mooring between the fringing reef and a main pinnacle that rises to the surface. A sheltered sandy area between reef and pinnacles holds many goby-and-shrimp pairs, while a line of pinnacles parallel to the reef plate is covered in soft and hard corals. The shallow, calm conditions make it popular for training and snorkeling.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
Ras Malah is a remote headland reef dive on the coast north of Ras Abu Galum toward Nuweiba, with healthy hard coral, a reef plateau and wall. It is usually reached by boat as part of a northern safari.
South Sinai · 5–40 m
A reef dive about 11km from Naama Bay, directly south of Ras Ghamila, whose Arabic name means 'Christian Cape'. The reef drops from shallow bays into a wall descending past 60m, riddled with caves and overhangs, and can be dived as a drift, semi-drift or from a mooring depending on current.
South Sinai · 5–40 m
Ras Umm Sid is a headland reef on the Hadaba coast known for a dense column of gorgonian sea fans descending from roughly 14 to 28 m. A wall drops from the surface to about 18 m, forming a plateau that runs out to the drop-off, while a gentle reef slope makes the shallows accessible to beginners. Schools of barracuda and snapper gather at the corner where currents meet, with whale sharks and hammerheads possible in summer.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
A striking wall dive at the southern entrance of Marsa Bareika bay, directly across from Ras Ghozlani; the Arabic name translates roughly as 'Head of Thyme'. The reef wall, dotted with caves and overhangs, is a good place to encounter large tuna, barracuda and jackfish, with cruising grey reef sharks in summer.
South Sinai · 5–25 m
Reeks Reef is a coral reef dive on the coast between central Dahab and the Blue Hole, offering a sloping coral garden and reef edge. It is a quieter alternative to the busy main-bay sites.
Red Sea Governorate · 17–50 m
The Rosalie Moller is a 108 m British WWII collier and a sister ship of the famous SS Thistlegorm, sunk by German aircraft in October 1941 off Gubal Island near Hurghada. She sits upright on a sandy bottom with the main deck around 35 m, masts rising to about 17-18 m and the propeller and rudder visible on the deeper stern. Hard and soft corals now cloak the hull, and the holds and bridge can be penetrated although most artefacts have been removed.

Sachua Abu Galawa is a dive site in Egypt. The site is reached by boat.
South Sinai · 6–8 m
The Saddle is the shallow reef notch, around 6-8 m deep, that connects the Blue Hole to the open sea. Divers drifting from the Bells cross the saddle to drop into the Blue Hole, and it is also where snorkelers and many recreational divers enter the hole.

Safaga Soraya is a dive site in Egypt. The site is reached by boat.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
A coral pinnacle forming the third of the three reefs of the Shark and Yolanda complex at the tip of Ras Mohammed. It rises from depth and is typically dived as part of the Shark-Yolanda circuit, sharing the same dramatic walls, hard-coral cover and pelagic fish life.
