Tank Museum in Ras Mohammed National Park is an artificial reef site formed by submerged military hardware. This shore-entry location is suitable for newly certified divers and those building underwater confidence. The structure provides a habitat for various small reef creatures, including gobies, blennies, pipefish, and nudibranchs such as Chromodoris and Nembrotha species. Divers may also encounter clownfish, pink skunk anemonefish, pufferfish, and mantis shrimp. Water temperatures fluctuate between 22C and 30C throughout the year. Currents at the site are variable, so it is recommended to dive in the morning when conditions are generally calmer and visibility is optimal for observing the smaller inhabitants of the structure.
