Red Island

Also known as: Jazirat Hamra

Red Island sits in the middle of Sheesa Bay and slopes gently down to sand on all sides. ScubaGo notes that it is big enough to be split into a north and a south dive. Barracuda, jacks, angelfish, turtles, cuttlefish, stingrays, lobsters and shoals of fusiliers are common. A mild current runs at the northern and southern tips, and both sources recommend it for night dives.
