‘Local’ Sites
There are many so-called ‘local’ sites because of their proximity to the boat jetties of Travco Marina and Naama Bay. The local dive sites reach from Ras Katy and Temple in the south stretching round the coastline taking in the Gardens and Shark’s Bay with Ras Ghamila being the most northerly site. Most of the local sites are suitable for divers of all levels, since the sites are sheltered from strong currents and waves. |

Ras Mohammed
Ras Mohammed is a peninsula of land jutting out into the Red Sea at the southernmost point of the Sinai Peninsula. Most of the Ras Mohammed Peninsula is, in fact, a raised reef plate, indicating that the sea level was once higher than it is today. |
