About this site
The dive site in Lake Timsah offers calm, clear waters with excellent visibility, ideal for beginners and relaxed exploration. The sandy bottom slopes gently, dotted with patches of seagrass and scattered coral formations. Expect encounters with colorful reef fish, occasional rays, and crustaceans. The shallow depth and warm water make it perfect for extended dives. Unique for a freshwater lake, it features a mix of marine and brackish species due to its connection to the Suez Canal. A peaceful, accessible dive with surprising biodiversity.
