About Ras Fanar

A reef dive. It goes down to 30 m. You get in from a boat. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SW: swell from the SW reaches it, and wind from the NE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 14 km away. The sea is about 23°C in January, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 29°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). The town to stay in is Sharm El Sheikh. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 11 dive sites.
