Tower

# Tower Dive Site – Sharm El Sheikh

Tower is a premier dive site located in Sharm El Sheikh, nestled in the Red Sea off Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. This moderate to advanced dive site features a distinctive coral-topped pinnacle that rises from depths of 60-80 meters, creating an impressive underwater structure for experienced divers.

The site showcases vibrant hard and soft coral formations, particularly around the shallower sections. Divers encounter abundant Red Sea marine life including jackfish schools, groupers, snappers, and occasional reef sharks patrolling the deeper waters. The pinnacle’s upper plateau, around 35-40 meters, offers excellent visibility and rich biodiversity with nudibranchs, sea turtles, and moray eels commonly spotted.

Tower demands solid navigation skills and comfort at depth, making it suitable for Advanced Open Water certified divers and beyond. Strong currents are typical, requiring excellent buoyancy control and experience with drift diving. The dramatic underwater topography and healthy coral ecosystem make Tower an unforgettable dive destination in the Red Sea.
