About Ras Katy
Ras Katy is a boat-accessed Sharm el Mina site built around a shallow sandy plateau and coral pinnacles that rise from the reef. The sheltered pocket between the fringing reef and the main pinnacle makes the site easy to read underwater, with reef fish, soft corals, and calm conditions that work well for beginner-friendly dives and snorkelers.
