Jolanda Reef (also called Yolanda Reef) is one of the most popular dive sites in the Ras Mohammed Marine Park area.

Dive trips here (accessed by boat from Sharm el-Sheikh) usually include Shark Reef, as well making this a two-for-one deal with a kaleidoscope of fish life and corals to be seen.

Jolanda Reef is home to the wreck of the Jolanda, an old Cypriot freighter ship that had been carrying a cargo of bathroom porcelain when it ran aground on the reef in 1980.

As well as the highlight of exploring the wreck site, the steep, rainbow colored coral walls of Shark Reef that lead to the wreck, and Jolanda Reef’s coral garden plateau, are prime sealife spotting destinations.

Scorpionfish, crocodilefish, turtles, moray eels, and barracuda are all regularly spotted by divers here.
