Fishes, Reptiles and Mammals

Many famous dive sites with large tame fishes, many large bays with high fish diversity. There are sharks, large number of snappers and schools of jack fish in Shark reef. Many Anemone City (Nemo) which I personally admire also there are Garden eels. Many of Blue spotted stingray in the Namaa bay area which is very famous of its spines. Saw once an Eagle Ray very cute actually.


Loads of Giant moray also in Namaa Bay and in Ras Mohammed. Spotted many rare fish very beautiful like Filamented devilfish aka Red Sea Walkman, scorpion fish very hard to spot as it has the same shape of the corals and also Stonefish. Several groupers and common fish like lionfish which is a poisonous fish if you touched its fins which are like spines.

Red Sea racoon Butterflyfish



Numerous numbers of the most colorful coral reef fish’s Butterfly fish which travel especially in pairs, and characterized by their disc-like body covered with scales. Angelfish resemble butterfly fish and share their splendid colors the one I personally admire is the yellowbar angelfish. Gobies are small elongate blunt-headed fishes with large mouth with pointed teeth, pelvic fins close together; the only one I saw is the Red sea shrimp goby. Many other huge selections of Barracudas, Masked puffer, Trigger fish, Yellowspotted burrfish, the very famous Sea turtle.
