The Straits have four reefs. These reefs rise from the deep and are swept daily by strong water currents. This place is abundant with tuna, barracuda, and varieties of shark species. There are incredible vertical walls with a school of fish and large pelagic. Ras Mohammed has steep walls covered in coral and abundant with different reef fish, turtles, and sharks. Explore the Shark and Yolanda reef to view the breath-taking ocean topography. Divers can drift dive at Jackfish Alley and enjoy taking photographs of white tip sharks. The Red Sea is a beautiful place to scuba dive any time of the year, although the water temperature may vary in every season. We recommend that you visit between November to April based on temperature and humidity. The ocean view is crystal clear, and the water current varies during these seasons. Whenever you decide to visit the Red Sea, we will openly welcome you to Freedom III, and we will surely complete your holiday.
