Jackfish Alley, Fisherman’s Bank
South Sinai · 5–30 m
A Ras Mohammed wall dive whose porous reef face holds several short, penetrable caves with separate entrances and exits, the first opening around 6m and running roughly 40m through the reef. Beyond the wall the site offers a coral garden sloping from 10 to 18m that ends at a satellite reef, often dived as a gentle drift.

Jackson reef
South Sinai · 5–30 m
The northernmost of the four Tiran reefs, exposed to the open strait and known for a steep drop-off that plunges to around 800m. Strong currents draw schooling fish and sharks, with hammerheads possible in summer along the northern wall, while the sheltered side offers easier coral diving.

Kormoran
South Sinai · 3–15 m
A German-built cargo ship (launched 1963, later Adamastos and Zingara) that ran aground on the northern reef bordering Tiran island in 1984 while carrying phosphate from Aqaba, losing most of its bow on impact. The roughly 80m wreck lies parallel to the North Laguna wall within about 12m of water, with a visible winch, six-cylinder engine and propeller, surrounded by lush table corals said to have flourished on the spilled phosphate nutrients.
Boat entry
Laguna Reef
South Sinai · 3–15 m
A shallow reef on the northern side of Tiran island, marked by a cascade of large, pristine table corals down the reef wall. It is the resting place of the Kormoran (later Zingara) wreck, which lies parallel to the North Laguna wall within a 12m depth range, making this a calm-day site suitable for all levels.

Light House
South Sinai · 0–25 m
Lighthouse sits in Dahab's main bay and is the town's classic training and check-out dive, with sandy slopes, good visibility and easy beach entry in almost all conditions. Most PADI Open Water courses start here, and the reef slopes gently to coral heads and small walls.
Shore entry
Little Brother North Plateau
— · 30–50 m
At the northern point of Little Brother the reef slopes gently before dropping to a deep plateau around 40m, regarded as one of the Red Sea's premier shark-watching spots. Hammerheads, thresher and grey reef sharks patrol the edge, and oceanic whitetips, tiger and even whale sharks have been recorded here. The site is dived as a current-driven drift and demands good buoyancy at depth.

Little Brother Shark Point (East Wall)
— · 15–50 m
The eastern and western walls of Little Brother fall sheer and are draped in black coral and mammoth gorgonian fans amid dense hard and soft corals. Along the wall lie gorgonian forests and huge overhangs, plus a feature known as Shark Point that acts as a cleaning station for sharks. It is one of the most colourful wall dives in the offshore Red Sea.
AdvancedBoat entry
Little Brother South Plateau
— · 18–40 m
Because the currents on Little Brother's eastern and western walls usually run north to south, dives often finish on the southern plateau, a wide ledge around 20m or deeper. Schools of barracuda frequently circle here while dogtooth tuna and reef sharks hunt nearby. It is a productive end point for a wall drift along the island.
AdvancedBoat entry
Louilla
South Sinai · 5–40 m
The Louilla is a Panamanian cargo ship of around 3,461 tonnes that ran aground on the northern side of Gordon Reef in the Strait of Tiran in the early 1980s, with its bow section still protruding above the surface. Diving the area centres on Gordon Reef's southern plateau (about 10-25 m) and a coral valley dropping to 30-40 m. Strong currents are common in the strait, and the site is part of the standard Tiran day-boat circuit from Sharm el-Sheikh.

Marsa Abu Dabbab (Abu Dabbab 1 / Turtle Bay)
Red Sea Governorate · 2–18 m
Marsa Abu Dabbab is the famous sandy turtle-and-dugong bay about 30 km north of Marsa Alam, bounded by north and south reefs with a wide seagrass meadow between them. It is one of the few places in the Red Sea where divers regularly meet large green turtles grazing the seagrass and, with luck, the resident dugong. Shallow, current-free and easy from shore, it is ideal for beginners, snorkelers and photographers.

Marsa Bareika
South Sinai · 5–25 m
A sheltered bay within Ras Mohammed National Park scattered with colourful coral heads across a sandy bottom. The protected setting supports a diverse fish community and makes it a reliable easy dive when the open-water sites are exposed.
Boat entry
Marsa Egla
Red Sea Governorate · 3–25 m
Marsa Egla is a large sandy bay about 10 km north of Marsa Alam, entered directly from the beach across shallow water that stays accessible even in rough weather. The bay slopes gently to reefs on its north and south sides, with extensive seagrass meadows in between that occasionally host dugong and frequently green turtles. Easy conditions make it a favourite for shore dives, training and snorkelling.
