Between Sinafar Island and Tiran lies a not very well known dive site named Abu Tinun. It consists out of some coral heads, sandy patches and areas full of sea grass. There are some nice overhangs and small caves with marine life such as groupers, jacks, sweetlips and rays. Many sea horses, eels and cuttle fish can be found in the sea grass. Take a close look at this easy, quiet and relaxing dive which is most often dived by live-aboards.

Sinafar Island is a great area where many dive sites are yet to be explored. It is an area sometimes visited by live-aboards but not often by day boats from Sharm el-Sheik. There are amphora’s from the Ottoman, Greek and Roman empire, great walls, nice plateaus, caves, great hard and soft corals and spectacular marine life. Because it is not often dived, species are not used to divers yet and are often very curious. Colors are spectacular and diving can be done by divers with all levels of expertise. There are shallow, deep, easy and very difficult dives, which you should visit if you like to explore parts of the Red Sea. Safari boats to this place can be booked in Sharm el-Sheik and they will make sure for some interesting and entertaining experience.
