Sharm El Sheikh Diving Holiday
Dive Sportif
Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm lies on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsular and has become a large cosmopolitan bustling and vibrant town, in huge contrast to the once fishing village of more than 10 years ago. It is now one of the world’s most popular dive destinations with world class dive sites of Ras Mohammed and famous wrecks such as the SS Thistlegorm. Sharm now offers more than world class diving, it also caters very well for the seasoned holiday maker with its high number of hotels and resorts, restaurants, bars and night clubs. The mountainous desert landscape blends into a contrasting but strangely beautiful scenery and the waters edge is washed by the azure Red Sea.
