Plongée à Ras Mohammed — Egypt

Ras Mohammed at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula is Egypt's most protected marine area and home to the iconic Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef combo — widely considered the Red Sea's single best dive. Nutrient-rich currents attract walls of fish, grey reef sharks, and massive Napoleon wrasse, all in visibility that often exceeds 40m.
