As I will be lucky enough to be spending some time in Sharm this summer, I will try to keep you updated with the water conditions and sightings of note.
To start you off, I have been told by reliable sources that the water is now 24-25degC. There have been sightings of Whitetip sharks all winter, but last week was the first sighting of a Hammerhead at the back of Jackson. Also, there have been sightings of Mantas at the local sights and not all of them from in the water (Eric).
I will be keeping this topic locked, so it will be easier for everyone to follow. Hopefully this will make it a good reference for all those waiting to come out on their next trip. |

| Vis is a little down at the moment, due to the wind being quite strong and blowing sand into the sea. |

Ok, latest on the water temp is 23.7degC. Still windy out there, so a little cold when you get out. I'd recommend a 5mm full for now.
Eagle rays and Mantas have been seen at the Gardens the last 2 days. |

Water temp. is into the 24's. People still seeing Mantas at the local sights. Heard mention of a Whale shark sighting, but not sure of the source. There have been several Leopard shark sightings/
Air temp. is nicely into the 30's, bring a hat. |

Water temp has hit 26degC and I've finally seen an Eagle ray!
Still lots of sightings of Turtles and now the temperature is getting warmer it shouldn't be too long before the big stuff gets here. |
