Daily Diving & Shore Diving
Daily Boat Diving & Shore Diving in Sharm El Sheikh
The Red Sea has some of the finest underwater scenery on the planet — and from our base in Naama Bay, you're never far from it. At Red Sea Marine, we run daily boat dives and guided shore dives to the sites that matter: Ras Mohammed National Park, the Strait of Tiran, the SS Thistlegorm, and the sheltered local reefs on Sharm's doorstep.
Free hotel transfers, small groups, and experienced guides. That's what a day with us looks like.
Where We Go
Ras Mohammed National Park — Egypt's first marine national park. Shark & Yolanda Reef delivers steep drop-offs, legendary visibility, and fish life so dense it blocks out the light.
Strait of Tiran — Four reefs at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba. Jackson Drift is one of the most exhilarating dives in the Red Sea; in late summer, hammerheads sometimes appear off the back of the reef.
Local Reefs — Ras Umm Sid, Temple, Far & Near Garden. Close to shore, sheltered from the current, and genuinely stunning. Ideal for check dives and newer divers.
Wreck Dives — Special trips to the SS Thistlegorm and SS Dunraven by request. Earlier departures required.
Included: free hotel transfers, tanks, weights, and a guide. Not included: National Park fees, equipment rental, lunch.
Daily Boat Diving
Boats depart between 08:00 - 09:00 from the marina and return by mid-afternoon. We plan two dives at different sites each day, rotating across Sharm's best locations based on conditions and experience level. No two days are the same.
Shore Diving in Sharm El Sheikh
Shore diving is flexible, uncrowded, and often underrated. No schedule, no waiting — just you and the reef. We run guided shore dives daily at Ras Umm Sid (home to an extraordinary gorgonian forest), Naama Bay house reef (relaxed, great for turtles). Night dives are also available on request.
Shore dives pair well with boat trips.
FAQs About Boat Diving & Shore Diving in Sharm El Sheikh
How many dives will I do in a day?
Two dives on most boat trips, with an optional third depending on the site and conditions. Shore dives are flexible.
Is scuba diving in Sharm El Sheikh good for beginners?
Yes. Local reefs and shore sites are sheltered and suitable for newly certified divers. More demanding sites like Ras Mohammed and Tiran are tailored to your experience — we'll always match the dive to the group.
What's the difference between boat diving and shore diving?
Boat diving reaches the offshore sites — Ras Mohammed, Tiran, and the wrecks. Shore diving means entering from the beach at local sites. Shore dives are more flexible and less weather-dependent; many divers combine both.
What marine life can I expect in the Red Sea?
Turtles, Napoleon wrasse, moray eels, barracuda, reef sharks, octopus, lionfish, and, in season, scalloped hammerheads off Tiran. The reef itself has over 300 coral species, roughly 10% of which are found nowhere else in the world.
What certification do I need?
Open Water (PADI, SSI, or equivalent) for guided dives. Advanced Open Water is recommended for Ras Mohammed, Tiran, and wreck dives. If you haven't dived in over 12 months, we'll start with a quick refresher — it's standard practice, not a test.
Where is Red Sea Marine based?
Ghazala Beach Hotel, Naama Bay, Sharm El Sheikh — minutes from the marina.
What certifications does Red Sea Marine hold?
PADI, CDWS, and ISO certified. Our guides are multilingual and know these reefs properly — not seasonal staff passing through.
Does Red Sea Marine offer courses?
Yes. PADI courses from Open Water through to Divemaster. We can fit certification around your holiday schedule.
When is the best time to dive in Sharm El Sheikh?
Year-round. Water temperature stays between 22–28°C, and visibility rarely drops below 15m. Peak seasons are October–November and February–April.
