Why dive here
Black Pearl - Red Sea is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Black Pearl sits a bit differently from the usual Red Sea suspects. It’s a site that brings a consistent, solid dive, often with a relaxed drift if the currents are right. We've seen Spotted Groupers holding court in rocky outcrops and the occasional Red Sea Clown Surgeon darting through the shallows. It’s a good spot for divers who appreciate a steady, calm dive without needing extreme thrills, though we’ve had lucky encounters with pods of Long-beaked Dolphins passing by in the blue. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, the Yellowtail Sweepers are often thick on the reef.
