About this site
The Alternatives lies off Sharm El Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula, near the entrance to the Strait of Tiran, and like other sites along this stretch it is typically reached by boat from the marinas around Naama Bay and Sharm's harbors. The site sits over the fringing reef common to this coastline and reaches a maximum depth of around 9 metres, making it a shallow dive.
