Dive info

A Sharm El Sheikh diving holiday offers you a spectacular and diverse range of dive sites that are amongst the best in the world. From the famous Ras Mohammed Marine Park, to some of the most renowned wrecks in the Red Sea, the sheer number of sites means that there is something for all divers. Boat diving is the norm in Sharm and there are also some superb house reefs for diving and snorkelling.

Learning to Dive

Sharm is a good destination for novice and learner divers, with many easily accessible coral gardens that offer safe, shallow water and excellent visibility. This area benefits from the shelter of the land, which means conditions are usually calm to moderate and ideal for those new to diving. A full range of courses is offered at the centrally-located dive centre and there is a heated pool on site. Qualifying dives are often undertaken from the shore.

Qualified Divers

The exciting dive sites of Ras Mohammed Marine Park are what attract the legions of experienced divers to Sharm each year. Situated at the tip of Sinai, where the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba meet, Ras Mohammed’s strong currents and nutrient waters are packed with schools of snappers, barracuda and jacks, coupled with the sharks that come to stalk them. Steep coastal cliffs are mirrored underwater with impressive vertical walls, which drop off 70m or more.

The Strait of Tiran separates Tiran Island from the east coast of Sinai and is famous for four large reefs that rise from the depths like vast underwater mountains. Here, the strong currents and dense plankton attract an impressive range of reef and deep sea species providing some exceptional drift dives.

Further west, round the southern tip of Sinai, lie some of the best wreck dives in the Red Sea. The legendary Thistlegorm is the most famous - a 415 foot World War II British supply ship which lies in 30m with an amazing cargo of motorbikes, trucks, guns and shells.

Twin Centre Diving

Diving in Sharm can also be combined with the spectacular diving available in Dahab, including the legendary Blue Hole. For more

Holiday Feedback

"Hi, We really enjoyed our holiday we booked with you. From the time we arrived at the airport the service we got was excellent. Our visas were sorted out quickly, we weren't kept waiting around and the transfer went smoothly. The Hilton Dreams hotel was great value and the room was ideal for us, as it was on the ground floor. We'd also like to pass on our thanks to your rep in Sharm, Lisa Gates, and the Thomas Cook rep Paul Kelly. Lisa arranged for us to return early after a death in the family. She was great and kept in touch throughout to make sure we got back. Paul helped in arranging the flights. This reflected really well on your company and I would definitely choose Regaldive again. Please tell them we are very grateful and my wife has made it to Ireland so can attend the funeral - all thanks to them. We will be recommending your company to all our friends. Well done. Bob & Eileen Keeble"

Holiday Feedback - Hilton Fayrouz

"I had a fantastic holiday, couldn’t fault anything. I was very pleased with the rep, very attentive. In fact we’ve never received this kind of service from a resort rep - I can’t speak highly enough of Amr. No complaints with the hotel, very happy. Happy with Regaldive's service and the arrangements, everything went very smoothly. Mrs Hoeglund"
