Sharm Divers Dive Club

Sharm Divers Dive Club is situated in the Sharm El Sheikh Marina, providing direct access to some of the most iconic marine environments in Egypt. The centre operates with a focus on transparent service and professional standards, catering to both those looking to start their training and experienced divers seeking technical specialties.

Whether you are heading out to the deep walls of Ras Mohammed or exploring the historic cargo of the SS Thistlegorm, the centre is geared towards providing reliable logistics. Their location allows for efficient departures to the Straits of Tiran and various wreck sites that define the Sinai Peninsula's diving reputation.

The team consists of multilingual instructors capable of conducting training and guided dives in English, Russian, and Italian. This allows for clear communication during briefings, which is essential when navigating the strong currents found in the Straits of Tiran.

As a PADI affiliated centre, they provide a structured progression for divers of all ages. Their curriculum ranges from the Bubblemaker and Seal Team programmes for younger divers to advanced professional and specialty training for adults.

The training catalogue is extensive, covering the full spectrum of PADI certifications. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving or the Open Water Diver course, while those looking to progress can move through Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver.

For more experienced divers, the centre offers several specialties, including Nitrox, Night Diver, and Sidemount Diver. They also provide Rescue Diver training and the PADI Reactivate programme. More technical interests are met through specialties such as the Navigator, Deep Diver, and Wreck Diver courses.

The centre utilises a variety of vessels to suit different diving requirements, including Zodiacs, dedicated dive boats, and private speedboats. These allow for flexible trip planning, whether you are heading to a nearby reef flat or a more distant wreck site.

Safety and comfort are prioritised on board, with emergency oxygen, a first aid kit, and VHF radio available on all trips. For those on snorkeling excursions, snacks and water are provided.

The centre maintains a high standard of rental kit, with Scubapro and Mares equipment available for hire. For divers who prefer to bring their own technical setup, dive computers are also available on-site.

For certified divers, Nitrox 32% is provided at no extra cost, allowing for extended bottom times on deeper dives. Safety is a core component of their shore-based operations, with emergency oxygen and comprehensive first aid protocols in place.

The reefs are home to a diverse array of pelagics and reef dwellers. You can regularly encounter barracuda, reef sharks, and eagle rays patrolling the currents, alongside lionfish, octopus, and moray eels.

The hard and soft coral structures provide a complex habitat for various species. These reefs are characterised by vibrant marine life that thrives in the nutrient-rich waters of the Sinai.

Macro enthusiasts will find plenty to observe among the crevices and sandy patches. The area is known for its variety of smaller inhabitants that require a keen eye during your bottom time.

Diving in this region often involves navigating varying current conditions, particularly when visiting the Straits of Tiran, where drift diving is common. These currents can be strong and are a key factor in site selection for different experience levels.

Site accessibility varies, with some locations like the Blue Hole sections of Saddle and Bells offering shallower, more controlled environments, while other wreck and reef sites require more advanced buoyancy control and navigation skills.
