I was in the MFO in 85/86 at South Camp near Sharm el Sheikh. Nama Bay was closest to our camp, about a mile north. just before you walked down to Nama Bay was a place we called the Cliffs. There were little natural platforms of rock at 20, 30, and 50 feet above the water where we would dive in.
Later in the tour I caught a notice on the beach bulletin board: “Hammer Head Spawning season, don’t make big splashes in the water!”
I never went back in again.
I was at South Camp in ‘89. Same experience- had to be really careful diving there.
You have a lot more courage than I do....I prefer not going where there are known predators.
