Our House Reef ranks among the most beautiful in Sharm El Sheikh, if not the Red Sea. Here you will commonly encounter Groupers, Jacks, Barracuda, Moray Eels, Napoleon Fish and a wealth of different species of colourful reef fish. Mantas and even Whale Sharks come in to Naama Bay itself to feed on the rich plankton in spring. Dolphins and Beluga Whales are frequently enjoyed between here and the Straits of Tiran.

Night Dives are particularly spectacular as species normally hiding by day among the Reef's many grottos and caverns come out to hunt at night. Marvel at the colours and luminescence only experienced while experiencing a night dive.

Daily Boat Excursions

Whether you are a novice or experienced diver you will have an opportunity to learn, improve or simply enjoy your diving under the guidance of one of our instructors or guides. Perhaps your family or friends just want to accompany you for some snorkeling, sunbathing or relaxation while you dive. Our daily boat trips include:

The National Park of Ras Mohamed

The term "wall dive" certainly applies to the dive sites in the vicinity of Ras Mohamed. Few places in the world can rival the sheer vertical walls that plunge into the depths 800 metres and more below these towering cliffs.

The wealth of marine flora and fauna is astounding and main dive sites each offer divers different attractions. The sites are Jackfish Alley, Shark's Observatory, Shark's Reef and Jolanda Reef.

The Straits of Tiran are formed by the island of Tiran to the East and the Sinai mainland to the west. The reefs are named after British cartographers and are called Jackson Reef, Woodhouse Reef, Thomas Reef and Gordon Reef.

The effects of deep waters, continental plate and narrow channel combine to funnel a strong supply of nutrient rich waters to the coral reefs. This in turn creates a food chain linking the plankton, coral and marine organisms and reef fish to the Sharks, Manta and Eagle Rays that are frequently encountered here. These unique reefs, which feature steep walls, canyons and caverns, provide a wealth of outstanding colours and huge schools of fish such as Snappers, Barracudas, Bat Fish and Jacks. Currents can be dangerously strong at the extremes of the reefs and care must be taken to assess both their direction and strength to avoid danger.

The Local Sites

The stretch of coastline between Sharm El Sheikh to Ras Nasrani (opposite Gordon Reef at the mouth of the Straits of Tiran) provide a wealth of unrivalled diving adventures for beginners and experienced divers alike. The geography of this coastline restricts access to many of the sites by land and therefore diving is mainly done from daily boat excursions.

The dive sites differing features range from stunning walls and canyons to coral slopes and gardens. The main dive sites are known as Ras Nasrani, Ras Bob, White Knight, Shark's Bay, Ras Umm Sid and the Temple, the Tower, Ras Katy, Amphoras and the Gardens.

Special Excursions

DAHAB situated about 90 kms North of Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab offers divers a chance to experience a unique combination of dives in a one day overland excursion by minibus or jeep. As a town it is famous for its old Bedouin souk where shopping bargains are an added attraction for non divers and families accompanying divers or snorkellers. The town features many waterfront restaurants and bars and lies on a beautiful palm fringed beach overlooking the crystal clear waters of the bay. Dahab is mostly renowned for its spectacular snorkeling and beach diving, notably the Blue Hole & Canyon due to the unique geological formations and features of these locations, they have become legendary sites for speciality divers. They offer the possibility to combine the beauty of the colours, light penetration and marine life of the Red Sea with the thrill of simple penetration or overhead diving.

Wreck Excursions

The Red Sea around the Sinai peninsular has many wrecks for divers to investigate, such as the Chrisouls K, Giannis D and the Carnatic, wrecked on Sha'ab Abu Nahas in the straits of Gubal, but none are more thrilling than:

The Thistlegorm lay at anchor awaiting further orders. A British supply vessel, she was laden with a vast array of military equipment destined for the British troops in North Africa. A long distance German bomber came across her on the night of 6th October 1941 and dropped its bombs on her. Two landed right on target penetrating number four hold, ripping her stern apart and resulting in the loss of nine lives.

The Thistlegorm is 126m long with a beam of 17.5m and has a capacity of 4898 tons. She lies on a sandly plain at a depth of 30m but her bridge extends to a depth of just 17m. A strong current flows from bow to stern, although with tidal variations the direction can reverse. Safety precautions are essential when diving this outstanding wreck, and ascents and descents on a rope, usually secured to the wreck by the dive guide, are obligatory.

The wreck itself features a vast array of military hardware ranging from anti aircraft and bren guns, airplane wings, ammunitions and shells, railway carriages and tenders, wellington boots, trucks and motorcycles. No wonder this time capsule has become the undisputed number one dive site in the world, surpassing even Truk Lagoon!

The Dunraven was a steam and sail powered vessel used for transporting spices and timber. She was sailing fully laden from Bombay to Newcastle when she foundered on the Horse Shoe Reef at Sha'ab Mahmud in March 1896. She cracked down the middle, quickly capsized and sank as witnessed by the portholes being left open, indicating that the crew had little time to react. The contents have settled and the ship's large, empty spaces are the main feature of this dive. The Dunraven's stern lies at a depth of 28m and her bow at 18m. Her total length is 82m with a breadth of 9.7m.

Private Boat Charters can readily be arranged to suit your individual requirements, be they a single day pleasure cruise, an overnight diving trip or a full week's live-aboard dive safari to enjoy undiscovered dive site locations far from the madding crowd. You will enjoy the comfort and solitude that a private charter offers, spectacular dawns and sunsets that can only be experienced at sea.
