Pyramids Diving Center

The Million Hope wreck is laying has been laying Nabq bay since 1996. This wreck can be dived several times as it is big and there is so much to see! Apart from the wreck there’s also a crane to explore.

One of the best dive sites in the world. Can be done as a drift or mooring dive. Wonderful coral garden with soft and hard corals. Sometimes challenging currents on the “corners“. Backside of the reef known for hammerhead sharks in July to October.

Very demanding dive site, connecting reef between Woodhouse and Jackson. This site can only be dived in good weather (almost no wind), but it is still difficult to estimate the current.

This is the longest reef of the four in the Straits of Tiran and is dived as a drift dive usually from South to North. Jumping at the southern part of the reef is a wall to about 30m. It is worth looking on to the sand patches below to try and spot sleeping sharks. The coral covers all the way from the surface down the wall which becomes more of a slope as the dive progresses. Half way through the dive there is a canyon going along the reef at about 25m which spreads out into a coral garden with sand alleys. This is usually where the current starts to pick up. If the conditions on the west side of the reef are rough the dive has to be ended at the end of the coral garden, which is usually reached after about 50 minutes. If weather conditions allow it is sometimes possible to continue the dive beyond this point. Where the reef leaves the surface and funnels down towards Jackson Reef. This area is referred to as the washing machine due to the very strong currents going in all directions.

Fun drift dive from the boat, Woodhouse is the longest of the 4 main reefs in the Straits of Tiran. Currents can be strong. There is a split in the middle of the reef and care needs to be taken towards the end of the reef where a washing machine effect can sometimes be present. The reef is fabulously colorful!

This is the smallest reef in the Straits, but also one of the most popular. The dive is governed by the weather conditions as the western side is often impossible to pick divers up from. The dive is done as a drift dive with potentially strong currents on the southern and northern ends of the reef. The ends are vertical walls with a large plateau at about 25m on the south eastern side. This plateau often has sleeping sharks on the sand patches and the coral has a fence of Gorgonia fans at the end. After the Gorgonia fans the reef returns to a wall before coming to the corner of the reef, watch the currents. If conditions allow it is possible to go round to the other side of the reef, which is a wall disappearing into the deep.
