This dive site, Coral Garden, is located approximately 20 minutes north of Swiss Inn Resort in Egypt. Access is gained through a shallow lagoon, shared with the entrance to The Canyon dive site. Divers typically proceed south, exploring a vibrant shallow coral garden before encountering a dramatic drop-off that plunges steeply from 14 meters down to 40 meters. The planned dive path returns along shallower depths, ranging from 10 to 5 meters, winding over corals and sandy areas. No specific historical information or unique story is provided for this site.
The Coral Garden is teeming with a variety of marine life, particularly known for its smaller inhabitants. Divers can expect to encounter numerous partner gobies cohabiting with pistol shrimps, various species of sole and flounders, and colorful pufferfish. Octopods and clownfish are common sights, and squid are often observed. The shallow lagoon area is notable for occasional sightings of the distinctive Red Sea Walkman.
This site is particularly ideal for beginner divers and children due to its calm lagoon access and shallow, protected areas, making it a perfect spot for skill development and enjoying marine life without challenging conditions. While no specific "best time to visit" is mentioned, the Red Sea generally offers excellent diving conditions year-round, with clearer waters and comfortable temperatures. For freedivers, the site offers varied depths, from the shallow lagoon to the deeper drop-off, catering to different skill levels.
