| VIPONE ITINERARY / Temple |
 |
The Temple is located on the north side of Sharm El Sheikh Harbor. It is a group of three pinnacles that rise up from 18m below to the surface.
This is a flat, sloping reef with two major, and a few minor, pinnacles adding contour to the reef face. The largest of the pinnacles is 'The Tower'. All the pinnacles hide a surprisingly rich variety of reef animals.

Coral growth throughout the site is good, with a density and mix of species difficult to match in the immediate area. The fish are as pleasant a surprise as the coral, with a truly amazing range of species colonising the reef. There are lionfish all about, as well as stonefish that do not move and are camouflaged. Around the pinnacles are schools of glass sweepers that move together.
Because of the sheltered conditions and lack of current, this is a very popular night dive sight. |
