Sharks Point
24.8389°N 35.0339°E · reef
Sharks Point is a dive site in the southern Red Sea coastal zone between El Quseir and Marsa Alam, positioned approximately 1 km from The Garden of Eden site — suggesting the two form part of a local cluster of named reef sites in this lightly dived stretch of Egyptian coast.
Overview
The coordinates (lat 24.84, lon 35.03) place this site in the southern Egyptian Red Sea, a region known for relatively low diver pressure and healthy reef systems. The name “Sharks Point” is consistent with Red Sea reef points where pelagic species such as grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, and occasionally oceanic whitetips gather at reef edges exposed to open water.
No specific source document has been located confirming shark species, depth profile, or entry conditions for this exact coordinate pair. The overall site type classification as a reef is consistent with the surrounding coastal reef zone between El Quseir and Marsa Alam.
