About this spot

Tower dive site sits near Sharm el-Sheikh on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, accessible as part of the region's established dive network. The site features coral formations typical of the Red Sea's shallow to moderate reef ecosystems. Year-round diving means you can visit at most times of year, though conditions vary seasonally. The area supports a range of Red Sea fish and marine species documented across 12 recorded observations. Community footage from three dive videos provides real conditions and spot previews. Tower works as an entry or intermediate dive given standard Red Sea reef structures, though always check current conditions with local operators before booking. The site sits outside marine protected areas, so standard Egyptian dive regulations apply. Nearby Sharm el-Sheikh offers full dive support, accommodation, and logistical services. Coral health status shows no stress indicators, a positive sign for reef conditions. Plan your trip around personal preference since the site is diveable throughout the year.

  • I dived this site last week... after 50+ years of diving all over the world this one was epic! Not deep, not great visibility, not at all technically demanding but one of the best dives of my life without question. A big shout out to Ahmed and Mo from SMDC for showing us their back yard!
