Sharks Bay Diving Trip: Explore the Red Sea Reefs

A private guided dive experience along one of Sharm el-Sheikh's most celebrated reef shores


Sharks Bay diving offers direct access to a thriving reef ecosystem, where clear Red Sea waters reveal dense coral gardens and an abundance of marine life suited to both first-time divers and experienced scuba enthusiasts.

Located near the White Knight shore, Sharks Bay is recognized for its exceptional biodiversity. Visitors encounter a wide range of coral formations and reef fish species in conditions that are calm enough for beginners yet rewarding for seasoned divers.

Since November 2019, Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Environment regulations have restricted boat-based introduction diving to certified professionals. This shore-based private trip was designed specifically to ensure that all skill levels retain safe, legal, and fulfilling access to the Red Sea's underwater world.

The experience is fully private, pairing each group with a qualified instructor who manages briefings, safety, and in-water guidance throughout every dive. Snorkeling time is also available, and an on-site cafe and restaurant provides a comfortable break between dives.

Tour Highlights

Dive directly from shore into Sharks Bay's vibrant coral reef ecosystem.

Fully private experience with a dedicated certified dive instructor throughout.

Compliant with current Egyptian diving regulations for shore-based introduction dives.

Observe colorful reef fish and diverse coral varieties in clear, calm conditions.

Snorkeling session included alongside your diving time at the bay.

Private air-conditioned vehicle transfers to and from your hotel included.
