Dive-site story
Located along the South Sinai coastline north of Dahab, Tiger Reef features an expansive coral terrace that falls away toward deeper sand chutes and offshore drop-offs. Divers enter across a shallow fringing reef table before navigating ridges of hard coral formations. Strong offshore winds can create surface chop, while current running parallel to the shore brings schools of fusiliers and hunting trevallies along the outer slope.
Diverse hard coral structures including large table corals and brain coral heads
Frequent encounters with schooling fusiliers and roaming jacks along the reef edge
Dramatic underwater topography transitioning from reef flats to sandy drop-offs
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Spring and autumn provide comfortable water temperatures and calmer wind patterns for easier shore entries.
