Why dive here
Satellite Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Satellite Reef sits a little off the main coast in Sharm, a standalone pinnacle often feeling like its own little world. We've had some really calm dives here, making it a good spot for easing into the Red Sea's currents, though it can pick up. You’ll find plenty of parrotfish, like the Candelamoa, chomping away at the coral, and look out for the resident bandcheek wrasse darting between the formations. Keep an eye on the blue – we’ve occasionally spotted dolphins passing by, from the smaller bridled to the bigger bottlenose. If you're after a relaxed dive with a chance of pelagic surprises, Satellite Reef usually delivers.
