Why dive here
Shark's Bay is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Shark's Bay offers a pleasant, relaxed dive right off the Sharm el-Sheikh coastline. We’ve had some cracking encounters here, particularly with various dolphin species – Grey Dolphins and Bridled Dolphins often make an appearance, and we even spotted a False Killer Whale once, which was a real treat. It’s mostly a gently sloping reef, good for a leisurely drift, and we often find Yellowtail Sweepers congregating under small overhangs. If you’re looking for a relatively easy dive with a decent chance of seeing some larger pelagics without heading too far offshore, Shark's Bay fits the bill nicely.
