This dive site is located in a large, sheltered bay at the heart of Sharm el Sheikh. It serves as a popular house reef and has been utilized for diving training programs ranging from introductory levels to more advanced certifications. The shallow, gentle slope of the bay makes it ideal for beginners. Exploring further reveals extensive sea grass meadows teeming with small marine life, including grazing rays and turtles. Large coral pinnacles are abundant, hosting a diverse array of fish species—from delicate glass fish to sleek moray eels. Visibility is excellent in this protected environment.
