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.
