Yolanda Reef and Wreck

Yolanda Reef is the richest coral garden in Ras Mohammed and is one of the best dive sites in the world.

 
Shark and Yolanda reef has a small wall coming from the surface that forms a plateau from 12 to 20m. Many small pinnacles with colourful soft corals and abundant marine life can be found on the plateau.

The ship Yolanda crashed on the reef in the 1980’s and lay on its side until a storm pushed it over the edge and down to 180m. Some remains of the ship and its cargo still lie in shallow water. Yolanda carried toilets, bath tubs and sinks, all now encrusted with corals and home to Blue Spotted Stingrays, Scorpion and Stone Fish, Giant Morays and the resident Napoleon Wrasse.
