About this site
Catalog

Also known as Fisherman's Bank, this Ras Mohammed site offers a sandy plateau cut by two photogenic caverns and a swim-through canyon that emerges onto the reef wall. Shafts of light pierce the caves while glassfish swirl in the entrances, and the open water beyond often holds the namesake schools of jackfish hunting along the drop-off. Reef sharks and stingrays are regular visitors on the sand.
