Somewhat unlikely.

Last year there was a whale shark in Dahab in September then it was spotted in Sharm in November.

what time of year is best for sharm, or are they just down south most of the time there seen??

Actually whale sharks are not so common here so there's no best time to see them. However, there's a school of hammerheads on one side of Jackson's reef (Tiran, Sharm) and it could be spotted frequently between July and September.

am i likely to see any of the bigger animals at this time of the year if im lucky


will there be hammer heads there at jackson at this time of year,, and if there are hammerheads would the sea likely be calm enough at this time of year to get to dive the outside

We encountered 3 Whale Sharks at surface level approximately 20km outside the coast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia two days ago, early morning.

I'll post pictures as soon as possible.
