Boat access and local dive logistics are the normal way to reach the site.
Ras Peter / Tank Garden is a deep historical wreck dive in Sharm el Sheikh built around submerged military vehicles and a landmine. The site is best treated as a boat-run, tank-diver-only profile with a clear no-contact mindset around the wreckage and plenty of depth to manage. Coral growth is minimal, which keeps the military hardware visible and preserves the site’s man-made character. It suits experienced scuba divers who are comfortable with drift, restricted access, and disciplined buoyancy.
