Local clock times; heights about mean sea level. On open coasts the times are usually within a quarter of an hour; in bays, estuaries and on the Gulf of Mexico they can be an hour or more out. Slack water, the safest time to dive where there is current, is about half an hour either side of each high and low.

About Shaab Rahma

A reef dive. It goes down to 25 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NE: swell from the NE reaches it, and wind from the SW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 14 km away. The sea is about 23°C in January, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Rocky Valley Divers Camp, البحر الأحمر, 14 km. Nearest beds: Al Quşayr, 26 km. Nearest airport: Marsa Alam International Airport (RMF), 95 km.
