Why dive here
Fiddle Garden is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Fiddle Garden is a gentle introduction to Sharm’s reefs, a good spot if you’re still getting comfortable in the water. Dropping to a mellow 19 metres, it’s mostly a sandy slope punctuated by small coral heads. You’ll often spot blue-spotted rays resting on the bottom, and we usually see a few moray eels peeking from their hideouts. It's a relaxed dive, ideal for knocking the rust off your buoyancy or for those looking for a calm afternoon beneath the waves.
