Ras Za'atar

A wall dive at the southern entrance to Mersa Bareika in Ras Mohammed, where a steep drop-off carved with caves and overhangs meets a coral-head slope. Current is usually mild to moderate, which makes it one of the more forgiving Ras Mohammed sites and accessible to Open Water divers. Soft corals line the wall and turtles are seen on the slope.
