Naama Bay

Naama Bay is one of the largest and most iconic bays in the heart of Sharm El Sheikh. Its gentle sandy slopes and wide open spaces make it an ideal site for divers of all levels, from beginners to advanced students. Conveniently located just steps from the Red Sea Diving College, it serves as our exclusive house reef.

Beyond its role as a training site, Naama Bay offers a vibrant underwater world. Divers can explore seagrass meadows teeming with small critters, watch rays and turtles grazing, and discover coral pinnacles bustling with colourful reef fish and shy moray eels. With calm conditions and a diverse marine ecosystem, Naama Bay is the perfect spot to combine easy diving with unforgettable underwater encounters
