about Middel Garden dive site
Middle Garden is a large sheltered bay. The site is very protected from the weather making it an ideal site for the first holiday dive or for Discover SCUBA diving dives.
The fringing reef drops down between 2-3 meters to a large sandy area. This gently sloping sand area is dotted with small coral heads and is a great space to spot bottom-dwellers like the blue spotted sting ray. The main reef runs the length of the bay and gently slopes down into the blue, it is cut by several sandy ‘roads’ which make navigation easy.
Middle Garden is an ideal site to have a relaxing dive over the reef with a chance to see if anything is cruising by in the blue. Once in a while Sharm el Sheikh local sites like Middle Garden can surprise you with a sighting of huge turtles, whale sharks or mantas.
