Ras Abu Soma

Improve

For all the divers.

This is for sure a drift dive.

Jump few hundreds meters up and swim back with the wall on your right, you will find an amazing plateau at 15 mt full of table corals and hard corals.

The plateau reaches 25 meters before the dropp-off in the deep blu.

Anemones and clown fishes guarateed.

Octopus and cuttlefish.

On the plateau, there are very old table corals and you may spot some big stuff such as grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, eagle rays, stingrays, and even hammerheads. Sea turtles, barracudas, octopuses, and cuttlefish can also be seen at this dive site.
