White Knight

White Knight lies along the reef systems off Sharm El Sheikh, at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula where the Gulf of Aqaba meets the Gulf of Suez, and is typically reached by boat from the Naama Bay and Sharm marinas. The site sits over a reef bottom to a maximum depth of around 35 metres and is rated a beginner dive. Manta rays are found here, and divers have also reported clownfish, eagle rays, grouper, nudibranchs, pufferfish, and triggerfish along the reef. Some scattered engine remains, old air cylinders, and wreck debris have also been noted on the site, though these are not consistently reported.
