The Islands

Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt

The Islands dive site is a favorite among guides and guests alike, showcasing the stunning coral formations of the Red Sea. Three giant pinnacles have grown together over time, creating a playground of valleys and lagoons filled with a diverse range of reef fish. One of the lagoons is home to thousands of juvenile barracuda, with trevally and large snapper always present. An earthquake 10 years ago caused sections of the reef to collapse, exposing holes and cracks that are now rapidly filling up with renewed coral growth. This dive site is accessible to all certification levels and offers a maximum depth of 20m. Stingrays, Napoleons, Picasso Triggerfish, schooling Barracudas, Crocodile fish, Eagle Rays, and Turtles can be spotted here. The interesting rock pinnacles are teeming with Glassfish, Anemonefish, Angelfish, and Lionfish. For those with good air consumption, there is a third island that can be visited at a deeper depth. Photographers and videographers will find this dive site perfect for capturing the vibrant colors and diverse marine life.
