Ras Mohammed Scuba Diving Trip
Plunge into the depths of Egypt’s first and most famous protected area with our Ras Mohammed Scuba Diving Trip. Located at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, where the Gulf of Suez meets the Gulf of Aqaba, this National Park offers nutrient-rich waters that attract massive schools of fish and support vibrant coral walls. Whether you are a certified pro or a beginner taking your first breath underwater, this is the ultimate Red Sea experience. It is a deeper, more immersive alternative to the surface-level beauty of our Ras Mohammed Snorkeling Day Trip.

Itinerary:
Your underwater expedition begins when a Nile Empire tour leader picks you up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. We transfer you to the marina/dive center, where you will meet your captain and crew. If you are diving, our internationally certified instructors will help you gear up and give you a thorough briefing on the day’s sites and safety procedures.
We then set sail toward Ras Mohammed National Park. The anticipation builds as the dramatic cliffs of the peninsula come into view.
The Ras Mohammed Scuba Diving Trip typically includes **two dives** (approx. 30-45 minutes each) at different sites selected for the best conditions of the day. You will descend into a world of incredible biodiversity—expect to see walls of soft coral, schools of barracuda, snapper, and perhaps even a sea turtle gliding by.
Between dives, you will recharge with a delicious Buffet Lunch served onboard, complete with soft drinks, coffee, and tea. It is the perfect time to swap stories with fellow divers and enjoy the sun on the deck.
For those in your group who are not certified divers or prefer to stay shallow, a snorkeling option is available, allowing them to enjoy the vibrant reef from above while you explore below.
After a full day of adventure, we sail back to the dock, where your transfer will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
Planning a longer stay? This diving trip is a fantastic addition to our 12 Days Luxury Egypt Package.

The Underwater Garden of Allah
Ras Mohammed is often called the “Garden of Allah” for its underwater beauty. The sheer walls of coral here drop thousands of meters into the deep, creating a dramatic vertical landscape. This topography, combined with strong currents, brings in nutrients that feed incredible soft corals in every color of the rainbow. Diving here feels like flying along the edge of a mountain range, submerged in liquid blue. It is an ecosystem so rich and vital that it remains the benchmark for all other Red Sea dive sites.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ras Mohammed Scuba Diving Trip
I am not certified. Can I still dive?
Yes! You can participate in an “Introductory Dive” (Discover Scuba Diving). An instructor will hold your hand and control your equipment while you enjoy the view at a shallow, safe depth (usually up to 6-10 meters). No prior experience is needed.
Do I have to pay for the National Park ticket?
Yes, the National Park entrance fee is a government requirement and is usually paid in cash on the day of the trip. It goes towards the conservation and protection of the reef.
Can non-divers come on the boat?
Absolutely. Family members or friends who do not wish to dive can join as snorkelers or simply to relax on the boat. They will pay a reduced “snorkeler/passenger” rate.
Is full equipment included?
The package typically includes tanks and weights. Full equipment (wetsuit, BCD, regulator, mask, fins) can usually be rented from the dive center in the morning for a small additional fee if you do not have your own.
How long is the surface interval?
We usually take a relaxing break of about an hour or more between the two dives for lunch and rehydration, ensuring you are fresh and safe for your second underwater adventure.
