Temple - Local

The bay of temple got its name from the old time divers that were diving there. The bay is very flat ranging from 10 – 18 metres, as the diver’s swan through the bay they came across the looming pinnacles that looked like an underwater Temple. The dive is a mooring dive starting at the front of the pinnacles, dive down the left hand side where a feisty clown fish lives, follow the sandy path to a deeper pinnacle where the top is 12 metres and the bottom is 18 metres, the currents are normally mild here but usually hit this left side of the pinnacle to the top section is full of sort corals, pipe fish and glassfish. Follow this pinnacle to the right and another huge pinnacle is in front of you – this has a fun swim through at 18 metres and comes out vertically out at 14 metres. Head across to the main pinnacle and search for the Amphora that found its way here from the wreck at Amphora’s Dive sites. The main pinnacle has a crack down the middle from the 1995 earthquake that hit Sharm El Sheikh which lends itself to another fun swim through.
