HAMATA

SHARKS & DOLPHIN tour / ST. JOHN's tour / WARM UP tour

All dives are located North of Ras Banass, located off shore on the front of the mountains of Hamata, Lahami and close by Ras Bannas. From the marina of Hamata, they are in between 3 nautical miles till 23 nautical miles (east, south east and south).

Scuba diving in Hamata is one of the absolute best in the Red Sea because of many reasons:

Less numbers of boats and divers compared to the crowded northern part of the Red Sea.
It is closer to the south, giving it a warmer temperature, which makes it from time to time as a good site to host the migrations of many types of schools of fishes.
