Why dive here
Small Crack is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Small Crack sits off the coast of Sharm el-Sheikh, a site where we've often encountered various dolphin species, including Long-beaked and Bridled Dolphins. It's a relaxed spot, not known for dramatic topography, but rather for these pelagic encounters. We've also spotted Cowfish here, a nice change from the usual reef dwellers. It’s a good choice for divers who prioritize potential big animal sightings over intricate reef structures.
