Jackson Reef

# Jackson Reef Dive Site

Jackson Reef is a spectacular diving destination located in Sharm El Sheikh, Sinai, offering exceptional underwater experiences for divers of all levels. This stunning reef formation features dramatic coral-covered pinnacles rising from depths of 40 to 80+ meters, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced divers.

The reef showcases vibrant hard and soft corals, intricate coral formations, and abundant marine biodiversity. Divers encounter schooling barracuda, trevally, snappers, groupers, and the occasional reef shark. The crystal-clear waters provide excellent visibility for observing colorful reef fish, butterflyfish, and parrotfish.

Jackson Reef’s main attraction is its thriving coral ecosystem and active fish life, particularly the channels between the reef’s peaks where strong currents attract pelagic species. The site demands good buoyancy control and current awareness, as significant drift currents are common.

Perfect for experienced divers seeking challenging dives with remarkable biodiversity, Jackson Reef remains one of Sharm El Sheikh’s premier diving locations, consistently delivering unforgettable underwater encounters in the Red Sea.
