Temple Reef, located just off Ras Umm Sid near Sharm El Sheikh, is a shallow and easy dive site, perfect for both beginners and experienced divers. The reef gets its name from its massive coral pinnacles, which resemble the columns of an ancient temple.
Temple Reef consists of a large coral tower rising from a sandy bottom at around 20 meters, reaching up to 5 meters beneath the surface. This pinnacle and coral formations around it are densely covered with soft corals, sponges, and vibrant marine life. The calm waters and minimal currents make it an excellent relaxed dive or night dive. It's our classic choice of a perfect location to spend one of the nights during our Northern cruises for our vessels - amazing night view overlooking Sharm El Sheikh and the famous Farsha Lounge is just another reason to visit it.
