Why dive here
White Knight is a reef dive where divers can encounter dolphins, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
White Knight usually gives us a relaxed dive, a nice change of pace from some of Sharm's more demanding sites. You’ll find a sandy bottom sloping gently down, dotted with some decent coral heads that host plenty of the usual reef suspects. We’ve spotted everything from little pearl-sides darting between rocks to the occasional cowfish browsing the seafloor. It's a solid choice for a second dive or if you're looking to take it easy, offering good opportunities for photographers to practice on smaller stuff. If you’re lucky, sometimes a pod of bottlenose dolphins or even a false killer whale cruises by in the blue, though that’s definitely a bonus, not a guarantee.
