Egyptian coral reef in the straits of Gubal in the south of the Gulf of Suez. Place of the wreck of SS Kingston.
Shark Observatory
South Sinai · 5–30 m
The most northerly dive of Ras Mohammed National Park, named for the clifftop lookout above it, located at the southern entrance to Marsa Bareika bay. Here the steep wall of Ras Mohammed, riddled with caves and overhangs, meets the gentle slope of the bay, offering wall diving with good coral cover and the chance of passing pelagics.

Shark's Bay
South Sinai · 5–30 m
Shark's Bay is a sheltered bay north of Naama Bay used both as a shore-access house reef and a boat site. A sandy bay opens onto a coral reef with a canyon and drop-off, suitable for training in the shallows and easy exploration deeper along the wall. Despite the name, it is a calm site rather than a shark hotspot.
Shore + boat
Small Crack
South Sinai · 2–6 m
One of two navigable passages cutting through the Sha'ab Mahmud reef, running northwest to southeast and separating a sandy inner lagoon from the open sea. The channel is very shallow, with a maximum depth around 6m and reef walls roughly 2m high, and is typically dived as a tidal drift from the outer reef into the calm lagoon.

Sodfa
South Sinai · 8–25 m
Sodfa lies just northeast of the better-known Tower and is an easy drift dive over a broad plateau. The plateau extends down from about 8 m, scattered with coral pinnacles, to roughly 20 m where gorgonian sea fans line the drop-off. From March to the end of June it is a known hangout for passing manta rays and the occasional whitetip reef shark.
