About this site
Rocky Island lies at the southern end of Egypt's Red Sea, off the coast of Qesm Shalatin near the border with Sudan, and is typically reached by liveaboard rather than day boat given its remote position. The site sits close to Zabargad Island in an area of open water known for its isolation from the more heavily trafficked dive centers further north around Hurghada and Marsa Alam. It is rated an advanced dive, consistent with the exposed, open-water setting typical of this far southern stretch of the Egyptian coast.
