Why dive here
Paradise is a dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Paradise offers a gentle introduction to Sharm’s reefs, bottoming out around 23 metres. It's a relaxed spot, often with minimal current, making it ideal for newer divers getting comfortable in the Red Sea. You’ll find a good collection of the usual suspects here: lionfish tucked into crevices, some colourful wrasse flitting about, and often some smaller reef sharks cruising by in the blue. It’s a solid choice for a check-out dive or a relaxed second dive of the day.
