The dive sites

What you'll dive in Sharm.

Each site gets its own map and full briefing (in production). Depths and levels below.

10 → 40 m

Ras Mohammed — Shark & Yolanda ReefAdvanced

The crown of the national park: two reefs meeting in blue water, walls dropping into the abyss, huge summer schools of barracuda, jack and snapper, and the scattered cargo of the Yolanda wreck. Currents can run — the definitive Sharm dive.

5 → 30 m

Straits of Tiran — Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, GordonAdvanced · drift

Four reefs strung across a current-swept channel: fast, exhilarating drift diving over pristine hard coral, with sharks, turtles and pelagics patrolling the edges. Jackson Reef is the signature.

16 → 30 m

SS ThistlegormAdvanced · wreck

A WWII British freighter sunk in 1941, holds still packed with motorcycles, trucks and rifles — the most famous wreck dive on earth. Day-boat from Sharm or on a liveaboard; often two dives to do it justice.
