Middle Garden is a scenic reef diving site located in Sharm El Sheikh, nestled in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula along the Red Sea. This moderate dive spot suits intermediate to experienced divers, featuring depths ranging from 12 to 40 meters.

Divers exploring Middle Garden encounter vibrant coral formations, including table corals, branching corals, and soft corals that create a colorful underwater landscape. The site showcases excellent visibility, typically between 15-25 meters, allowing clear views of diverse marine life.

The abundant fauna includes parrotfish, snappers, groupers, and schools of fusiliers navigating through the coral structures. Macro enthusiasts discover nudibranchs, crustaceans, and small reef fish among the corals. Pelagic species such as jacks and occasionally rays patrol the reef’s outer edges.

Middle Garden’s gentle current and moderate depth make it an ideal destination for developing diving skills while experiencing Red Sea biodiversity. The site’s accessibility from Sharm El Sheikh’s harbor and well-preserved coral ecosystem make it a popular choice for daily boat dives exploring the Red Sea’s underwater treasures.
