Ras Nasrani

This site was named as a tribute to an underwater camera-man, Bob Johnson, who worked in the area for many years. It is sheltered from the waves and wind and usually has weak currents.

The reef wall drops away to a sandy plateau at about 13m, at the center is a gully with swim throughs at 10m and 35m. There is an eel garden to the north.

In Ras Ghamila you can find big table corals, gorgonians, and pinnacles all over a sandy bottom. This dive site is suitable for any level of diver and snorkelers.

Sharks Bay is one of the common dive sites of SSH, the bay formation and the easy access attract snorkelers and divers of all levels. The slopping bottom makes it perfect for conducting courses. You can dive to the north or south reefs.

Gordon Reef is most famous for the wreck of the “Lovilla” which ran aground on the northern end of the reef in 1981. This dive can be done as either drift or a mooring dive, mooring on the southern side of the reef.

Thomas is the smallest of the reefs in the Strait of Tiran, but at the same time the most diverse. From steep faces to canyons and plateaus, you will find everything.

Turtle Bay is an easy dive site suitable for every level of diver and also good for snorkeling. Sandy slopes, drop-offs, small pinnacles, and coral blocks will be found here.

Fun drift dive from the boat, Woodhouse is the longest of the 4 main reefs in the Straits of Tiran. Currents can be strong. There is a split in the middle of the reef and care needs to be taken towards the end of the reef where a washing machine effect can sometimes be present. The reef is fabulously colorful!

By far the most colourful dive site in the Strait of Tiran. This reef is full of colorful and different corals because this is a narrow reef and the currents can pull around it. On the steep wall, you can find an endless amount of soft corals and on the left plateau a fire coral garden.

Very demanding dive site, connecting reef between Woodhouse and Jackson. This site can only be dived in good weather (almost no wind), but it is still difficult to estimate the current.
