[Charter Itinerary]
Sharm El Sheikh
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. This area benefits with the shelter of the land and conditions are usually calm to moderate. This is unlike the western coast of Sinai which can get rough, as the winds blow down the length of the Gulf of Suez. Most of the diving is in the Ras Mohammed National park, so don't touch 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 great excitement, fantastic coral and awesome diving.
Ras Nasrani (9km north of Naama Bay)
The reef drops from the shallow bays to a wall down to 60m+ wall 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 cone shells in the sandy gullies.
White Knight The reef wall drops away to a sandy plateau at about 13m. 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) There are three “gardens”, near, middle and far. The most seaward of the gardens (far), is a colorful reef with a slope to 25m and dotted with small “ergs”. At the top of the drop off there is a pinnacle frequently visited by pelagic. Glass fish caves are in the reef wall at 12m.
The “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 for flashlight fish at night and napoleons, blue spotted stingrays and the odd, grey reef shark in daylight hours.
Pinkys Wall The wall here seems bottomless. Drift dive along the reef, which is richly covered in soft corals. To the south is a sandy slope from where richly covered coral heads emerge before becoming a shear bottomless wall once again.
Paradise Northern side of Ras Um Sid wall, fully decorated ergs rise from a gentle slope. Home to schools of glass fish against a colorful background of soft corals.
Ras Um Sid 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 Za’atar Most northern dive of Ras Mohammed National Park, it is the southern entrance to the bay of Marsa Bareika. Where the steep wall of Ras Mohammed, where caves and overhangs meet the gentle slope of the bay of Marsa Bareika, and is scattered with colorful coral heads. Head north along the wall amongst big overhangs and dark gullies, the wall is swathed in sea fans, gorgonians and the odd sprig of black coral. Just before the corner look out for the chimney at 15m home to malabar grouper. Look closer and find the cleaning stations with the wrasse and shrimp in attendance. Don’t forget to check out the blue for schools of barracuda and jacks or the odd eagle ray cruising by.
Jackfish Alley The white patch on the cliff is a good marker for this site, usually done as a drift dive there are some interesting caves at 5m usually full of glass fish. As you move south you find two ergs again covered with glass fish, this is a great spot for photographers. Further south is a coral garden and the sandy gulley, which gives this, sites its name. Stingrays can be found resting in the sand as well as white tip sharks. In late summer beware of Titan trigger fish guarding their nests.
