Ras Mohammed National Park

The waters surrounding Ras Mohammed are considered the jewel in the crown of the Red Sea. Most, if not all, of the Red Sea’s 1000 species of fish can be seen in the park’s waters, including sought-after pelagics, such as hammerheads, manta rays and whale sharks.

SHARK / YOLANDA REEF

Ras Mohamed has many sites which offer fantastic diving but the most popular is Shark to Yolanda reef.

The dive begins at the sheer reef wall, which drops off to 800 meters, watch your depth! You then swim either north or south around the reef depending or the prevailing current. There is actually a very good chance of seeing sharks here, especially in the summer months. Even if there are no sharks on your visit the life here is amazingly abundant with large schools of barracuda, jackfish, batfish and snapper.

Heading across the pristine corals of the shallow lagoon there are common sittings of giant morays, turtles, massive Napoleon wrasse and even the occasional whale shark or manta!

Yolanda reef is named after the vessel of the same name which sank here in 1985. While the ship itself has sunk into the depths, the ship’s cargo of toilets and bathtubs remain which add a surreal feel to this site.

Other sites at Ras Mohammed include ‘Shark Observatory’ ‘Anemone City’ and ‘Jackfish Alley’ amongst others.

Diving at Ras Mohammed can be done by itself as a day trip, but is normally combined with diving at the SS Thistlegorm wreck.

This is a fantastic trip for ‘wreck addicts’ and lovers of marine life.

It’s been said that if you don’t enjoy this trip then you should give up diving and try something else!
