Ras Peter is a demanding site on the Sharm el Sheikh Coast that combines reef and wreck diving with drift conditions. The topography reaches depths of 40 metres, with an average depth of 27 metres. Divers must be prepared for moderate currents that can shift quickly, requiring careful navigation near the reef and wreck structures. Visibility ranges from 5 to 30 metres. Due to the depth and potential for strong currents, this site is suitable only for advanced divers. Access is by boat only, and divers should maintain distance from loose wreck structures to avoid entanglement and avoid contact with the reef.
