Located within the Sultan Gardens Resort in Shark’s Bay, Eagle Divers serves as a professional gateway to some of the most famous dive sites in the Sinai Peninsula. The centre is founded on a shared passion for the Red Sea, aiming to provide structured, professional diving experiences for both local residents and visiting divers.
From the shallow reef flats of Shark’s Bay to the deep, challenging walls of the Blue Hole and the historic wrecks of the Strait of Gubal, the centre's reach is extensive. Whether you are looking to complete your first certification or are planning a technical dive, the operation is built around the diverse topography of the South Sinai coast.
As a PADI 5 Star dive centre, Eagle Divers maintains high professional standards across its entire operation. The team is composed of certified instructors and experienced guides who focus on personalised service and safety for every diver.
The centre offers a wide range of training, including specialised programmes for children and entry-level divers. For those looking to progress into technical diving, they provide instruction in TEC Dive and various PADI specialties, including the PADI Night Diver specialty.
The training catalogue is comprehensive, covering the full PADI progression from Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver through to Rescue Diver and Divemaster. They also run the Instructor Development Course (IDC) for those looking to turn professional.
For divers moving beyond recreational limits, the centre offers Deep Diver and TEC Dive training. Specialty courses are also available, including Nitrox and the PADI Night Diver specialty, allowing you to tailor your skills to the specific environments of the Red Sea.
The centre organises excursions to major sites such as Tiran, Ras Mohammed, and the Strait of Gubal. The boats are well-equipped to handle full-day trips, providing snacks and lunch on board to ensure you are well-fed between dives.
Night diving is also a regular part of the programme, allowing you to experience the reef under torchlight. The vessels are designed to provide comfort while navigating the currents of the Red Sea, ensuring a smooth transit to the dive sites.
Eagle Divers provides a complete range of rental kit, featuring well-maintained equipment from reputable brands such as Scubapro and Mares. You can hire everything from BCDs and regulators to dive computers and torches for night dives.
Nitrox is available for divers looking to extend their bottom time. The centre also stocks essential accessories including wetsuits, gloves, hoods, and weight belts to ensure you are fully prepared for the local conditions.
The Thistlegorm wreck is a legendary site for advanced divers, offering a chance to explore a historic vessel laden with cargo. It requires a higher level of experience to navigate the structure safely.
The Blue Hole in Dahab is a world-famous site known for its incredible views and coral formations. It is considered an advanced site due to its depth and unique topography.
Ras Mohammed offers diverse marine environments, ranging from shallow reefs to steep walls. It is a premier location for seeing large schools of fish and healthy coral ecosystems.
The Canyons in Dahab provide a striking underwater landscape with dramatic rock formations and coral growth, best suited for advanced divers.
And some of the dive sites the centre runs.
The reefs are teeming with life, including colourful schools of fish such as Anthias, Butterflyfish, and various species of snapper and Jack. You will often see large pelagics, including sharks (Selachimorpha), rays (Batoidea), and tuna (Thunnus) passing through the area.
In the shallower reef areas, look for turtles, parrotfish (Calotomus), and unicornfish (Naso). Groupers (Epinephelus) and moray eels (Muraenidae) are frequently found amongst the coral structures, while triggerfish (Balistidae) patrol the reef edges.
For those interested in macro life, the seabed holds many treasures. Keep an eye out for the tentacled flathead (Papilloculiceps longiceps), octopus (Octopus vulgaris), and various scorpionfish (Scorpaenidae). You may also encounter nudibranchs (Chromodoris willani), seahorses (Hippocampus kuda), and different species of shrimp (Caridea).
Diving in this region involves a variety of environments, from sheltered reef flats to more exposed sites like Tiran and the Strait of Gubal. Divers should be prepared for varying current conditions, particularly when visiting wreck sites or open water walls.
The availability of night diving allows for a different perspective on the reef's nocturnal inhabitants, though it requires appropriate torch and navigation skills.
