Local Dive Sites

This area benefits from the shelter of the land and conditions are usually calm to moderate, unlike the western coast of Sinai which can get rough, as the winds blow down the length of the Gulf of Suez. The diving in the Sharm El Sheikh area runs North up the East coast to the Tiran Reefs in the Gulf of Aqaba and there are some fantastic local dive sites that we can take you to. Where ever you decide to dive around the Sinai you are in for some excitement, fantastic coral and great diving.

Ras Nasrani

(9km north of Naama Bay) This site can be accessed by four wheel drive vehicle as well as boats. The reef drops from the shallow bays to a wall down to 60m+ with many caves and overhangs. The best diving is among the big coral heads (or ergs) in the shallow areas. A good spot for Spanish dancers and coneshells in the sandy gullies.

White Knight

The reef wall drops away to a sandy plateau at about 13m, at the center is a gully with swim throughs at 10m and 35m. There is an eel garden to the north. This sheltered site is home for trigger fish, groupers and the occasional manta.

The Gardens (just north of Naama Bay)

Really three 'gardens' near, middle and far. The most seaward of the gardens (far), is a colourful fringing reef with a slope to 25m and dotted with small 'ergs' At the top of the drop off there is a few pinnacles frequently visited by pelagics. Glass fish caves are in the reef wall at 12m. 'Near' garden is just a few minutes from Naama Bay and is a great spot for a night dive with a sandy ledge sloping away to 25m. Look out for flashlight fish at night and napoleons, blue spotted stingrays and the odd grey reef shark in daylight hours.
