Ras Umm Sid is a peninsula with a high lighthouse, at the entrance of the Straits of Tiran. You start your dive at a large, massive coral block, inhabited by a colony Anthians. Then descend slowly to a depth of 25 meters. Along the way you will see many large and small reef fish, including the famous gorgonians. Then continue your dive to a depth of approximately 14 meters. You now reached a plateau with beautiful pinnacles, packed with hundreds of reef fish.
