About this site
The Straits of Tiran is a reef dive site located in the Sharm El Sheikh area of the Red Sea, known for its vibrant coral reefs and position among the region's most visited dive destinations. The site reaches a maximum depth of 18 metres and is suitable for beginner-level divers.
The Straits of Tiran is particularly associated with hammerhead sharks, which are present during hammerhead season, making it a draw for visiting liveaboard itineraries that time their final day at the site to coincide with that period.
