Why dive here
Near Garden is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Near Garden gives you a relaxed dive, a nice counterpoint to some of Sharm’s busier spots. We usually see a good number of Yellowtail Sweepers here, often schooling tightly, and the occasional Halfspotted Hind peeking out from the coral. It’s a site that suits those looking for a laid-back exploration rather than a high-octane drift. We’ve even been lucky enough to spot Bridled Dolphins cruising by on a few occasions, which always makes for a memorable moment.
