Thomas Canyon — dive site guide
Thomas Canyon is a reef wall in the Strait of Tiran off Sharm el Sheikh, reached by liveaboard. It is part of Thomas Reef. The canyon starts around 35 m and its arches lie at 42-52 m — technical diving only, not accessible to recreational divers (Wikivoyage, SSI). The deepest documented point is around 59 m — its deeper parts are beyond recreational limits. Published positions disagree, so the map shows an approximate area.
How deep does it go?
Some sources give depths of 90 m — the bottom beyond the reef, not a recreational dive depth.
