Ras Mohammed

Ras Mohammеd - among the top popular dive sites in Egypt, the most southerly and deepest sections are included in dive sites of the National Reserve. Classic allows divers to dive into amazing underwater routes starting at the very deepest drop-off of Shark Reef and then to the remains of Yolanda wreck cargo via saddle to Anemone City. Shark Reef is a vertical wall dropping to charted depths of nearly 800m/2624ft. Yolanda Reef has a wide plateau with a coral garden and masses of pinnacles that are teeming with fish. Between Yolanda Reef and the main reef lies the cargo of the wreck of the Yolanda, a 74m/242ft long cargo ship that was transporting bathroom supplies and a BMW to the port of Aqaba but struck the reef in 1980. Currents can be quite strong here, creating a kind of rollercoaster ride around these reefs
