Sheltered house reef in Naama Bay, Sharm El Sheikh.
Maeda Sentan is a sheltered house reef in Naama Bay, Sharm El Sheikh, with easy shore access and a calm profile that suits beginner training. Coral blocks and soft sandy patches create a simple but interesting reef layout, so the site feels like a real Red Sea dive rather than just a shallow swim. Expect reef fish, macro life, and a comfortable setup that works best when you check the tide and entry route before heading down.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Watch the shallow coral blocks and the entry route. New divers should stay with the calmest part of the bay and avoid forcing the dive on a rough or low-tide day.
Access Restrictions
Beach access and hotel frontage rules apply; low tide and poor sea state can make entry much less comfortable.
Legal Notes
Follow local dive-center and hotel rules for beach access and shore use.
