About This Dive Spot

Ras Sarkan is located at the southern entrance of Habalayn Bay, featuring a wall that transitions into slopes adorned with various hard and soft corals. The dive site reaches depths between 10 and 40 meters. Divers should be cautious of potential currents, particularly near the corner of the site, and remain vigilant for local speedboats due to the area's busyness. It is advisable to use a surface marker buoy (SMB) and stay close to the wall. Marine life at Ras Sarkan includes shoals of barracuda, jackfish, batfish, fusiliers, large parrotfish, moray eels, turtles, stingrays, marble rays, and, on rare occasions, white-tip sharks.
