Pinky Wall is a renowned dive site located in Sharm El Sheikh, nestled in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula along the Red Sea. This spectacular wall dive features a dramatic coral-covered escarpment that drops to impressive depths, making it suitable for experienced divers seeking an advanced challenge.

Descending along the wall, divers encounter vibrant hard and soft coral formations in stunning pink and orange huesβ€”the namesake of this site. The wall is rich with marine biodiversity, including large pelagic fish such as jacks, tuna, and occasional reef sharks. Smaller reef inhabitants like groupers, snappers, and colorful nudibranchs are frequently spotted among the corals.

Depth ranges from 12 to 40+ meters, with the wall’s most spectacular features between 20-35 meters. Strong currents are common, requiring solid buoyancy control and experience with drift diving techniques. Visibility typically exceeds 20 meters, providing excellent conditions for underwater photography.

Pinky Wall remains a must-visit destination for advanced divers exploring the Red Sea’s world-class diving opportunities.
