Dolphins of Shaab el Erg
Best things on this reef are the Dolphins. Especially calm days with warm weather, Dolphins are almost sure to pass by. If there is not too much people and they do not chase the Dolphins, they swim to you. I have spent a lot of time swimming with Dolphins here.

Abu Nuhas reef
Abu Nuhas reef is famous for wrecks. There are 4 wrecks here, which are today an attraction point for divers all around the world. For example the Greek cargo ship Giannis D. which run aground the reef on 19th March 1983 and sank a short time afterwards. It is now lying in a maximum depth of 27 m and is overgrown with hard- and soft corals.

SS Thistlegorm
The Thistlegorm is probably the most famous wreck in the Red Sea. The British ship was on the way to Egypt to bring military equipment of all kinds for the British troops in North Africa. But then on the 6th of October 1941 a German bomber attacked the Thistlegorm. Now the wreck is lying upright on the sea-bottom at 30-m depth. Especially interesting is the cargo: tanks, trucks, motorcycles, weapons, railway carriage and one railway engine.

Straits of Tiran
The Straits of Tiran are home to several dive sites, including Jackson Reef, Woodhouse Reef, Thomas Reef, and Gordon Reef. The Straits of Tiran are home to a variety of marine life, including reef sharks, barracudas, tuna, moray eels, and colorful reef fish. Divers may also see larger pelagic species, such as hammerhead sharks, whale sharks, and manta rays, which are known to pass through the area.
The area is known for its steep drop-offs, walls, and canyons, which provide an exciting and varied diving experience.

Ras Mohamed Marine Park
This is a world renowned dive site, situated at the tip of the Sinai. Two small ergs are joined by a vertical wall dropping into the abyss. At Shark Reef the current allows you to drift along the wall, rich with colorful corals. Moving towards Yolanda Reef you reach a plateau scattered with small ergs and coral outcrops. Continuing around the reef you will come upon the scattered remains of the wreck Yolanda complete with its cargo of toilets and baths. The whole of this area is big fish territory so keep an eye on the blue!
