The Diving

The diving in the Sharm El Sheikh area runs from Ras Mohammed at the tip of the Sinai peninsula and runs north up the east coast to the Tiran Reefs in the Gulf of Aqaba. Most of the diving is in the Ras Mohammed national park so do not touch the coral or feed the fish otherwise you may find yourselves with a ticket from the rangers. Wherever you dive around the Sinai you are in for some excitement, fantastic coral and great diving. Below are an example of some of the dive sites in Sharm El Sheikh.

Ras Umm Sidd:

The south side of the headland offers a superb gorgonian forest on the drop off. The plateau is bursting with life and swarms of Reef Fish. The possibility of spotting Whale shark or Manta exists at the corner.

Temple:

At the center of the Ras Umm Sid bay a huge coral pillar extends skywards, the reef wall drops to 15m. There are lots of pinnacles which are well worth exploring, this is a good spot to see Octopus. The rest of the site is featureless and it is easy to get lost so don’t forget your compass.

Ras Mohammed:

Ras Mohammed has earned itself a reputation as one of the top dive sites in the world, here at the tip of the Sinai where the vast bodies of water of the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba meet has created an ecosystem like no other and wall diving at its very best
