ROJO DIVE SAFARI

★★★★★ Gabr el Bint

Gabr el Bint is located about 15km south of Dahab and is approached by day boat in about 50min. Drop Off with fan corals. Way back over a sandy lagoon with table corals, a reef plateau to end the dive, partly stronger current. Small cave at 26m.

★★★★★ Shark & Yolanda Reef

The most famous site in Ras Mohammed. There are many ways to dive the site so there is something for everyone here. Shark Reef, Yolanda Reef, and Satellite Reef make up the 3 pinnacles. On Yolanda Reef you can find toilets and a mast laying around from the sunken Yolanda wreck.

★★★★★ SS Thistlegorm (Wreck)

This is one of the most famous wrecks in the world. This site is suitable only for advanced divers and EAN is highly recommended. on a trip there you do at least 2 dives, inside and outside around. The bridge rises up to 17 m.

★★★★☆ Temple

Normally dived from the boat, Temple gets its name from the topography of the site which loosely resembles an underwater temple. This ’temple’ is easily dived, starting from the shallows of around 6m, until you make your way through a tiny swim through out in to the blue at which point you’re able to reach 30m+.

★★★★☆ Tobia Arbaa

Tobia Arbaa is a popular dive site near Safaga and can be reached by speedboat or daily boat tour. The dive site contains five main pinnacles on a shallow sandy bottom and is suitable for entry level and advanced divers alike.

★★★★★ Blue Hole, Dahab

Located 12km North of Dahab, the famous Blue hole dive site is a large submarine sinkhole, 150m across and 110m deep. The dive can start or end at the blue Hole as you can enter the water north of the sink hole at Ells Bells and multi level your dive to end at the blue hole.

★★★★☆ El Mina, wreck

Russian built Minesweeper wreck located just outside Hurghada marina. The carrier of the El Mina came to an abrupt end in early June 1970th when the port of Hurghada was attacked by Israeli aircraft during the first days of the 6 Day War. It was hit by an Israeli missile and sank where she was anchored in 30m.

★★★★☆ Rosalie Moller

About 2.5 hours to the north is the famous sister ship of the Thistlegorm. The highest point of the wreck lies at 35m and the deepest at 50m. Often there is a strong current and the visibility can be limited.

★★★★☆ Ras Ghozlani

One of the most beautiful dive sites in the area. Having been closed to divers for many years due to the turtle nesting beach close by, this site has an extraordinary array of beautiful table corals, glassfish covered pinnacles, and an overall stunning landscape.

★★★★☆ Woodhouse Reef

Fun drift dive from the boat, Woodhouse is the longest of the 4 main reefs in the Straits of Tiran. Currents can be strong. There is a split in the middle of the reef and care needs to be taken towards the end of the reef where a washing machine effect can sometimes be present. The reef is fabulously colorful!

★★★★★ Canyon, Dahab

The Canyon is located 1.5km from the Blue Hole. Another geographical marvel, it is a deep fissure in the reef that you reach after entering a shallow lagoon and swimming along a coral garden plateau.

★★★★☆ Big Brother

Offshore Island with stunning reef walls all around it. Potentially very strong currents which can change throughout the dive so be aware of this. Drift diving and deep diving experience is essential. Make sure you also have an SMB on every dive.

★★★★★ Carless Reef

About 2 hours southeast of El Gouna is one of the most beautiful reefs of El Gouna. Since the reef is located in the open sea, there are often strong currents. This gives the possibility for many predators to inhabit the reef and corals, due to the great living conditions.

★★★★★ Giannis D, wreck

The most breathtaking wreck in the Abu Nuhas area. Very popular with UW photographers. The bow is in only 10m of water. The stern’s max depth is 25m. The stern is laid on its left side, which can throw divers off a bit when they dive through. The engine room is a spectacular sight, full of glassfish, and the mast and anchor winch are full of soft coral.

★★★★☆ SS Carnatic, wreck

This wreck sits in between the Giannis D and the Chrisoula K. It lays in 22m to 27m of water. It’s not a big wreck compared to the others, but still very interesting for divers due to its famously exposed ribs and the glass fish inside.
