Best for intermediate divers, 5-30m, shore entry, moderate current.
The Temple is a shore-access reef and wall dive located on the Sharm el Sheikh Coast. Divers navigate a shallow reef crest starting at 5 metres before descending along a wall that drops to 30 metres. The site is suited for intermediate divers, with moderate currents often facilitating a drift dive. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres. Entry from the shore requires caution due to sharp coral and rocks. Divers should monitor current strength and direction closely, as conditions can shift quickly. Arriving early in the day is recommended for calmer water and optimal light conditions on the reef structure.
