About this dive site

This dive site is located at the Tulip Resort in Egypt and is easily accessible from the resort's jetty. The dive begins along a beautiful coral wall that extends to approximately 12 meters, offering a stunning visual display of hard corals. After the wall, the seabed slopes gently into a sandy bottom, interspersed with fascinating coral gardens that descend further to a maximum depth of 19 meters (though the site description mentions a deeper drop-off to 40m, that part is beyond the stated maximum dive depth). The relatively shallow depth and gradual slope make this site perfect for divers of all levels, although experience is beneficial for exploring the deeper sections.

The reef teems with a remarkable variety of marine life. Divers can expect to encounter an array of colorful fish including clownfish nestled within vibrant anemones, morays peeking from crevices, triggerfish patrolling their territories, and the graceful movements of turtles. The possibility of spotting stingrays gliding across the sandy bottom adds to the excitement, as does the chance of seeing larger animals such as dolphins. Additionally, macro enthusiasts will delight in observing the intricate details of nudibranchs and the fascinating world of scorpionfish.

The best time to visit Tulip Resort is typically during the warmer months, from April to October, when the water temperature is pleasant and visibility is at its peak. However, any time of year offers its own unique underwater appeal. For freedivers, the relatively calm conditions and shallow sections of the reef offer ample opportunities for breath-hold explorations. Divers should remember to maintain a safe distance from marine life and to practice responsible diving ethics.
