Diving around Sharm El Sheikh
 
The morphology of Sharm El Sheikh's coastline is unique. Although some beaches can be found, the area mainly consists of sheer, flat-topped cliffs extending vertically out of the sea. Running parallel to these cliffs along their entire length is flat narrow stretch of reef, referred to as the reef table. The reef table extends downwards as a fully-fledged wall. This 65km stretch is considered to be one of the richest and most famous reefs in the world. For mile after mile, hard and soft coral species, reef and pelagic fish abound in a dazzling display. Most dives are day trip, double tank, boat dives, and will include world famous sites like Jackson Reef, Ras Um Sid, Ras Nasrani, Ras Mohammed and the wreck of the Thistlegorm.
