Map of Tower

Tower

South Sinai · 5–40 m

Tower is a dramatic Hadaba-coast site centered on a deep U-shaped canyon whose vertical walls plunge well over 100 m. Divers follow the sheer wall and then a gently sloping reef, often continuing onto the neighbouring Sodfa plateau with its delicate fan corals. The vertical relief and rich reef life make it a popular local wall dive.

Map of White Knight

White Knight

South Sinai · 10–35 m

A dive site in a wide bay north of Naama Bay built around a canyon that runs from about 10 to 35m and shelters large groupers. It is reckoned one of the better local spots for spotting manta rays, which frequent the stretch from Far Gardens to Ras Nasrani.

Map of Woodhouse Reef

Woodhouse Reef

South Sinai · 12–30 m

The longest of the four Tiran reefs, almost always dived as a one-way drift along its sloping wall from 12 to 30m. A split midway through the reef can produce strong, turbulent 'washing machine' currents, so the dive is run with surface support following an SMB.

Map of Yolanda Reef

Yolanda Reef

South Sinai · 5–25 m

Named after the Cypriot cargo ship Yolanda that struck the reef in 1980; the hull later slid down the wall to around 180m, but its scattered cargo of toilets, bathtubs, pipework and even a BMW car still litters the shallow reef. The site combines this quirky wreck debris with a coral plateau and wall rich in reef fish and seasonal pelagics.

Zabargad Turtle Bay

— · 5–25 m

Turtle Bay on Zabargad Island is a sheltered, sandy-bottomed lagoon known for its abundance of reef fish, cuttlefish, octopus, bluespotted rays and crocodilefish. It is a turtle nesting ground, with green turtles especially present around August. The calm, shallow terrain makes it a relaxed dive and a popular night-dive site.
