Why dive here
Bluff Point is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Bluff Point, tucked into the Sharm el-Sheikh coastline, often serves as a good warm-up dive. It's not one of those sites that shouts for attention, but it has a quiet charm. We’ve found the reef slopes gently, perfect for getting reacquainted with your buoyancy or for new divers finding their fins. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff here; we’ve spotted plenty of bandcheek wrasse darting between coral heads, and often a cowfish or two grazing in the sandy patches. You might even get lucky and see a pod of bottlenose dolphins passing through – it’s a regular route for them. It’s a comfortable, relaxed dive, ideal for an easy afternoon in the water.
