Description: Located in front of Ras Mohammed, the headland that gives Ras Mohammed National Park its namesake, Shark and Yolanda Reef is northern Egypt’s most famous dive site. It is a coral formation composed of two main pillars and a satellite, with impressive walls dropping down to over 800 meters. Shark and Yolanda Reef is teeming with marine life, especially during the summer months. Moray eels, lionfish, and lobster populate the cracks in the coral wall. Napoleon wrasses, angelfish, and trumpetfish will be hovering nearby while shoals of barracuda and batfish swim in the open waters, often chased by sharks. Beginner divers and snorkelers have been visiting Shark and Yolanda only recently, however, to fully appreciate this dive site, you should be an advanced diver and have some experience with moderate currents and steep walls.
