Ras Mohamed

This famous national park is located at the southernmost point of the Sinai, and is the meeting point of the Suez and the Aqaba gulfs. The water gathering of both gulfs can sometimes form strong current areas, the reason why many caranxes often gather near its abyssal blue fallings.
This drift diving will begin by the extreme southern point called “Shark Reef” and “Yolanda Reef”. Both are considered the most extraordinary in the park.
