About this site

Sharm El Naga, a sheltered bay between Safaga and El Quseir, is one of the Red Sea's classic shore-diving havens, its lagoon so calm it resembles a giant swimming pool. From the beach divers reach a coral plateau and drop-off teeming with reef fish, anemonefish and frequent visits from turtles and bottlenose dolphins. The easy, current-free conditions make it ideal for beginners, courses and relaxed shore exploration.
