Why dive here
El Shugarath is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 21-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
El Shugarath offers a straightforward dive to 29 meters, best suited for intermediate divers. We often see the usual Red Sea suspects here, like parrotfish and small schools of snapper, amongst the patch reef. It’s a solid Dahab house reef dive if you’re looking for something calm, but it won't blow you away. Expect a relaxed profile rather than dramatic topography.
