The House Reef – Garden Reef

Garden Reef is situated directly in front of the dive centre and is one of the most well known reefs in Sharm. It is packed with marine life including manta and eagle rays, moray eels and turtles. The outer edges of the reef are accessible by a short speedboat ride and an exciting drift back.

Garden Reef is a popular shore dive for novice, experienced and technical divers, as well as for training and courses. Depths range from just 6 metres, with a sandy bottom that shelves off gently from 10-20 metres before dropping to approx. 65 metres.


World famous dives at Ras Mohammed and Tiran Island

Divers’ Lodge operates daily boats to Ras Mohammed Marine Park and Tiran Island for spectacular walls, plentiful shark spotting and thrilling drift dives.

The exciting sites of Ras Mohamed are what Sharm is best known for and you will not be disappointed. Situated at the very tip of Sinai, where the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba meet, this area’s strong currents and nutrient rich waters are packed with snapper, jacks and barracuda.

   
 

 

This is a shark paradise. Stalking the schools of fish are many species of shark including silkies, greys and occasional hammerheads and oceanic whitetips. All this set against a backdrop of stunning coastal cliffs that lead to colossal vertical walls underwater.

The deep waters of the Straits of Tiran are punctuated by a collection of reefs and offer some exceptional drift dives. Once again strong currents and dense plankton attract impressive pelagic, deep sea and reef species. There are also many easily accessible coral gardens with shallow water and excellent visibility – ideal for training dives and gaining experience.

Dive the legendary Thistlegorm

Sharm is an absolute must-dive for wreck fans. To the west of the peninsula lie some of the very best wrecks in the Red Sea and even the world. These waters are home to the legendary Thistlegorm wreck – a 415foot WWII British supply ship that lies in 30m. Early bird trips offer the chance to explore her amazing cargo of guns, ammunition, trucks and motorcycles. Divers' Lodge can also organise trips to the Dunraven and the ship graveyard of Abu Nuhas.

Sharm is a superb base from which to take a mini safari or liveaboard to experience the sheer range of diving that this area has to offer. Technical and recreational itineraries can be personalised to your requirements.

We can also arrange for you to do some shore diving in Dahab.
