About this site
Catalog

A shallow swim-through channel cutting through the reef at the inner Ras Mohammed lagoon, popular as a scenic conclusion to the Shark Reef and Yolanda drift. Divers glide through a coral-lined crack into a mangrove-fringed shallow, encountering juvenile fish, glassfish and unusual hardy corals adapted to the warm shallows. A unique, easy and atmospheric dive.
