Continued from the Egypt dive sites guide, which covers regions, seasonality, and planning details.
South Sinai · 5–20 m
A reef dive in the popular stretch north of Naama Bay, lying among White Knight, Shark's Bay and the Gardens sites. It offers easy reef and slope diving with good hard- and soft-coral cover and typical Red Sea reef fish.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
Considered one of the most beautiful and pristine sites in Ras Mohammed, having been closed to diving for many years to protect a nearby turtle nesting beach. The reef presents an extraordinary array of table corals, glassfish-covered pinnacles and a rich coral landscape over a gentle slope.
South Sinai · 5–25 m
A long coral plateau north of Ras Nasrani offering an easy, scenic drift dive at 12-15m northward over large colonies of Porites and Acropora table corals and gorgonian sea fans. The gentle profile and current make it a relaxed site suitable for less experienced divers.
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.
