Map of Umm Sid

Umm Sid

South Sinai · 5–30 m

Umm Sid is a reef and drift dive at the southern end of Dahab, with a coral plateau in the shallows sloping to a wall and outer reef. Currents here make it a pleasant drift over coral gardens and gorgonians.

White Knight

South Sinai · 10–35 m

A dive site in a wide bay north of Naama Bay built around a canyon that runs from about 10 to 35m and shelters large groupers. It is reckoned one of the better local spots for spotting manta rays, which frequent the stretch from Far Gardens to Ras Nasrani.

Map of Yolanda Reef

Yolanda Reef

South Sinai · 5–25 m

Named after the Cypriot cargo ship Yolanda that struck the reef in 1980; the hull later slid down the wall to around 180m, but its scattered cargo of toilets, bathtubs, pipework and even a BMW car still litters the shallow reef. The site combines this quirky wreck debris with a coral plateau and wall rich in reef fish and seasonal pelagics.
