Sharm Taahtany is a coral-rich wall dive reached by boat from Mangroovy Bay, opposite the Oriental Coast area. The reef corner opens onto a plateau and a broad wall with coral blocks, making it a strong Red Sea boat dive for both newer and more experienced divers. Around the corner and along the plateau, divers can see eagle rays, giant stingrays, schools of barracuda, and green turtles, while the upper reef and coral blocks keep the site lively and photogenic.
