Dive-site story
Middle Garden lies along the Sharm El Sheikh coast, situated between Near Garden and Far Garden just north of Naama Bay. The site is defined by a wide sandy plateau dotted with sprawling brain corals and massive porites pinnacles before giving way to a gentle reef drop-off. Its sheltered topography makes it a mainstay for relaxed day dives, refresher sessions, and afternoon boat stops.
Expansive sandy plateau filled with large solitary coral heads
Sheltered conditions with minimal current suitable for easy navigation
Frequent encounters with stingrays resting in the sandy patches
