Thomas Reef is one of the best diving spots in the north of Egypt, but very challenging with strong currents. With speeds of up to 12 km/h at the edges, there is hardly enough time to say hello to all the reef inhabitants!
Thomas Reef" has no mooring so for the sake of the corals, "drift diving" is the best choice. Attention: Down currents!
If you are into cave diving, you will have a great time at "Thomas Reef", which convinces with its vertical steep walls, many gorges and the spectacular canyon. However, the dive is only for experienced divers: Especially on the side that faces "Woodhouse Reef", the currents change immensely depending on the tides and are not only fast, but also create down currents.
The "Thomas Reef" is simply a brilliant and unique dive site. The canyon may rightly brag with its three rock bridges, gorgonian fields and black corals are always showing off for their visitors and again lionfish, reef sharks, barracudas, moray eels or family members of the other 1,200 fish species in the Red Sea come by for a visit. Pure fish cinema!
