Seamax Sharm

Naama Bay is a huge bay in the center of the Sharm el Sheikh resort and it just happens to be our very special House Reef. The Red Sea Diving College is literally steps away from the beach entry to this site. Due to the shallow incline of the bay and the large soft sandy patches it is used as the premiere training site from PADI Bubblemakers up to PADI IDC training. However it should not be dismissed as just a place to train. Dive a little deeper into the bay and you will be greeted with vast sea grass fields with hundreds of small critters to spot and grazing rays and turtles. There are large coral pinnacles with a plethora of fish life from tiny reflective glass fish to shy sleek Moray Eels.

Naama Bay with a shallow sloping bottom, is ideal for courses and as a protected bay home to many juvenile fishes, eagle rays, large turtles are often found on the seagrass so also very exciting for certified divers. If you are interested in Macro Marine Life- this dive site is perfect for you.

In the middle of the Naama Bay lays this dive spot with coral blocks in 2 to 40 meters depth surrounded by sea grass areas. Here is nearly no current to expect and since the dive spot is in a protected area without boat traffic the marine life is very diversified.

Naama Bay is a sheltered Bay where you can find coral blocks in different sizes. Between these blocks are sea grass areas and sandy bottom. And in some areas are artificial reefs and as well a sunken zodiac.

Fancy a lazy day or perhaps it has been a little while since your last dive? Our gorgeous house reef offers something for every diver from beginner to pro. The gentle shore dive allows you to walk in to the water and prepare your self at your own speed, then when you are ready to sink beneath the sparkling turquoise water, you will be able to explore many coral pinnacles at a very leisurely pace with little to no current. We have regular sightings of green turtles and eagle rays in this beautiful spot, along with the usual Red Sea suspects including crocodile fish, lion fish, blue spotted stingray and octopus to name a few.

Out of all of the Sharm el Sheikh local sites Near Garden is the closest to our jetty – making it ideal for divers to join our dive boat at midday for the afternoon dive. It is located on the southern headland of Middle Garden or the northern headland of Naama Bay. This dive can be done as a mooring dive but is more popular with divers as a semi –drift dive. Divers normally enter where there are several pinnacles making a ridge down the sharp coral slope. You can then head north along the steep reef until it starts to flatten out as you enter Middle Garden. If the dive is planned as a semi-drift you can spend the last minutes of the dive exploring the fringing reef which has lots of small inlets.
