Dive-site story
Tower is a dramatic wall dive situated along the Sharm el-Sheikh coastline, dominated by a sheer vertical pinnacle and a deep fissure that cuts directly through the reef plate. Divers descending into the chimney find sunbeams piercing through overhead cracks before the terrain opens up onto a plunging wall that plunges into deep blue water. Currents can pull gently along the cliff face, making it suitable for leisurely drifts past enormous gorgonian fans and deep overhangs.

Expansive gorgonian fan corals anchored along the outer drops
Plentiful overhangs and sheltered crevices harboring macro life
