About this site

Rick's Reef lies along the coast of Janub Sina' governorate, on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula facing the Red Sea. This stretch of coastline is known for its network of fringing and offshore reefs, typically accessed by boat from the dive centers along the Sinai shore. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 35 metres and is considered a beginner dive. Divers have reported fusiliers, grouper, Napoleon wrasse, octopus, parrotfish, pufferfish, and scorpionfish on the reef.
