About this dive site
This dive site is located near the Garden jetty in Sharm el Sheikh, offering convenient access for afternoon dives. It’s situated on either the southern headland of Middle Garden or the northern headland of Naama Bay – a geographically strategic position. The dive offers both mooring and semi-drift options, with divers typically entering amongst several pinnacles forming a ridge down a steep coral slope. Following this initial section, a northwards path along the reef leads to a flatter area as you approach Middle Garden. If planned as a semi-drift, the last portion of the dive presents an opportunity to explore a fringing reef characterized by numerous small inlets. The route involves navigating a moderately challenging terrain, including steep sections and potential current variations depending on the specific conditions.
