Near Gardens
Near Gardens Dive Site from Sharm el Sheikh
The Near Gardens is the dive site nearest to Nama Bay, being about 10minutes by boat and on the point between Nama Bay and Gardens Bay. Being a headland it probably has an arabic name of ‘Ras’ something or other, but being a headland it is prone to have some current and deep water. The current is not usually strong and the dive is normally done as a mooring dive or can be combined as a drift from Middle Gardens.
Near Gardens is the main site at which night dives can be conducted. This is an opportunity to see this site in its true colours.
Note: This site is very popular with the snorkeling and glass bottom boats. So care is required when diving shallow as the boat skippers do not pay much attention to divers
