Ras Za'atar - Ras Mohammed

Depth: 0-30 M
Type: Big fish, Drift dive, reef wall, sharks, reef, drop off
Opposite Ras Ghozlani at the southern entrance to Marsa Bareika Bay lies Ras Za’atar, Za’atar in Arabic means Thyme and Ras meaning head gives it the name “head of thyme” in English.
The dive starts on a sloping wall best done in 15-18 metres. The wall has many cracks forming small overhanging ledges, About 30 mins into the dive there is a chimney for those wanting moody shots with rays of light bouncing off the cliff wall, this is a great photo opportunity. The corner is a plateau and here we often see more of a current, as the current brings in more nutrients to the water, the corner is a lively reef, here we are more likely to catch a glimpse of larger animals.
