Where we dive

Sites are picked each morning for the wind, the current and who is on the boat.

  • 01

    Ras Mohammed National Park

    Shark & Yolanda Reef, walls that drop straight into the blue, and in summer the huge schools of snapper and barracuda the park is famous for.

  • 02

    Tiran Island

    Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas and Gordon — four exceptionally beautiful reefs. Living coral in perfect condition, eagle rays, turtles and current for those who want it.

  • 03

    SS Thistlegorm shipwreck

    The Red Sea's most famous attraction — a British military ship lying at 30 m. An early start and a full-day trip, but worth every minute of it.

  • 04

    Local reefs of Sharm

    Ras Katy, Temple, Near Garden, Turtle Bay — calm, shallow and close. Where courses, try dives and night dives happen.

  • 05

    Ras Umm Sid

    A wall of gorgonian fans under the lighthouse, clouds of glassfish and turtles that barely bother to move out of your way.

  • 06

    Dahab & the Blue Hole

    A day trip north along the coast: the Blue Hole, the Bells and the canyon at El Qura — and lunch by the water in Dahab afterwards.

Why Sharm Caribe

What you actually get

There is no shortage of dive centres in Sharm. Here is what makes the difference on the day.

  • 20 years in these waters

    Our dive instructors have been diving these waters for two decades. They know where the current turns at Jackson, which site is worth doing today, and where the turtles actually are.

  • Three languages, no interpreter

    Briefings, safety instructions and jokes in English, Italian or Russian. Understanding your guide underwater is a safety feature, not a convenience.

  • Small groups

    A guide for a handful of divers, not a crowd behind a flag. More time on the reef, less time waiting for the last person to sort out their weights.

  • Safety first

    Checked equipment, a proper buddy check before every entry, dive profiles and a briefing that covers what to do if something goes wrong.

  • Hotel pick-up

    We collect you from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh and bring you back. Tell us where you are staying and we will confirm the pick-up time.

  • Photo & video of your dive

    Ask your guide and we will shoot your dive — especially worth it on a first try dive, when your own memory of it will be mostly bubbles.
