Sharm el-Naga (2)
26.9207°N 33.9587°E · reef
Sharm el-Naga (2) appears to be a near-duplicate OSM entry for the Sharm el-Naga dive area, located approximately 2.4 km from the primary Sharm el-Naga entry (lat 26.9, lng 33.967). Both entries refer to the same protected bay and house reef complex approximately 40 km south of Hurghada.
Overview
DUPLICATE FLAG: This entry (lat 26.9207, lng 33.9587) is located 2.4 km from the primary Sharm el-Naga entry and likely represents the same dive area recorded twice in OSM with slightly different coordinates. The “(2)” suffix in the name further suggests this is a secondary/duplicate entry rather than a distinct dive site.
For site information, see the primary Sharm el-Naga entry. The Sharm el-Naga bay and house reef are described there, including shore access, reef depth, marine life (crocodile fish, nudibranchs, turtles, eagle rays), and nearby boat dive sites.
