South Sinai · 5–30 m
A coral pinnacle forming the third of the three reefs of the Shark and Yolanda complex at the tip of Ras Mohammed. It rises from depth and is typically dived as part of the Shark-Yolanda circuit, sharing the same dramatic walls, hard-coral cover and pelagic fish life.
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.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
Napoleon Reef is a Dahab coral reef dive named for the resident Napoleon (humphead) wrasse. It offers a coral garden sloping to a reef wall and is dived from shore or boat.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
The smallest of the four Tiran reefs but considered the most marine-life-rich, typically dived as a drift on its current-swept walls. Its celebrated 'Thomas Arches' are a series of deep coral arches beginning around 35m and descending to roughly 90m, reserved for technical divers, while strong and shifting currents make even the recreational profile demanding.
South Sinai · 8–25 m
Sodfa lies just northeast of the better-known Tower and is an easy drift dive over a broad plateau. The plateau extends down from about 8 m, scattered with coral pinnacles, to roughly 20 m where gorgonian sea fans line the drop-off. From March to the end of June it is a known hangout for passing manta rays and the occasional whitetip reef shark.
South Sinai · 2–25 m
Black Pearl is a beach-club and restaurant venue on the Hadaba (south Sharm) coast that fronts a fringing house reef used for snorkeling and shore diving. The reef table gives way to a wall and slope typical of the Hadaba coastline, with colourful reef fish and soft and hard corals. It functions more as a shore-access reef and beach facility than a dedicated boat dive site.
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.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
Ras Malah is a remote headland reef dive on the coast north of Ras Abu Galum toward Nuweiba, with healthy hard coral, a reef plateau and wall. It is usually reached by boat as part of a northern safari.
South Sinai · 5–25 m
A sheltered cluster of coral pinnacles, also known as Saba Erg or Stingray Station, strung east-west for about 1.5 miles along the southern edge of Sha'ab Mahmud beside a sandy lagoon averaging around 10m. The protected location makes it a popular alternative dive when the open sea is unfavourable, with the classic route circling the two central mooring pinnacles amid abundant coral and fish.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
Considered one of the most beautiful and pristine sites in Ras Mohammed, having been closed to diving for many years to protect a nearby turtle nesting beach. The reef presents an extraordinary array of table corals, glassfish-covered pinnacles and a rich coral landscape over a gentle slope.
South Sinai · 5–40 m
Gabr El Bint is a remote, pristine dive site well south of Dahab, accessible only by boat or by camel because the coastal road ends near The Caves. It features dramatic walls, large pinnacles and healthy coral, and is considered one of the best dives in the Dahab area.
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.
