Diving in Sharks Bay
Sharks Bay is a dive site located off the coast of Sharm El Sheik, on the coast of the Red Sea in Sinai, Egypt. It is a shore dive site, which is unique in this area, and suitable for beginners who are doing their dive courses, but also to more advanced divers who want to admire the underwater life here. It is not a dive site to visit for large pelagic species or deep tec dives, but it has its own charm which everyone should experience.
Best time to dive
The Red Sea has pretty exceptional diving conditions throughout the year which is one of the factors which makes it so attractive for divers (alongside the vibrant colors and pristine life). The water temperatures vary between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius and the visibility between 20 and 30 metres.
