Located 27 km north east of Marsa Alam, accessible by boat/zodiak.

Sea Conditions -These are two large circular reefs, characterized by the gardens of soft and hard corals (mushroom corals, Acropora, staghorn and many other species) in the outer parts. The inner part, between the reef called n. 2 and n. 3, and famous for its canyons, pinnacles, you can find the wreck of the “One Heaven”, a small boat lying at a depth of 14 meters’.
Dive Plan – : Easy, less current. Suitable for all diver levels and snorkelers. As the ref is 5 km off
shore, snorkel and SMB are necessary .

Marine Life – The marine life of these sites is really special. Here you can clearly see the “fight” between the corals to reach the light, or better spaces to proliferate, and you can swim spotting almost every kind of fishes (rays, napoleon fish, snapper, moray eels, sharks, whitetip reef and gray reef sharks).

This is one of the most famous dive site in Egypt. 29 km north of Marsa Allam. Located offshore, Elphinstone is a 600 meter long reef, ranging from 5 meters to over 100 meters deep. A spectacular underwater life with a multitude of fish and wonderful drop-offs.

Sea Conditions – The currents are variable and usually (but not always) run from North to South. They are often quite strong – two knots or greater – and  this can benefit those skilled in drift diving as they can start with a dive off the northern point, which is possibly the most likely location for shark encounters, and go with the flow southwards along the reef and have the boat meet them at the southern end.

Dive Plan – However the currents necessitate careful consideration and your guide should be prepared to adjust your diving plans according to any unusual changes in the current that he may notice.   This is important as this reef is fully exposed to the open sea with nowhere to shelter.

Marine Life – The dive site location, environment, and reef formation makes this site one of the most important locations for sharks such as the oceanic whitetip and hammerhead shark. You will also be able to observe the abundant life of its reef such as schools of snapper, anthias, fusilier, tuna, trevally but also Napoleon, turtle and giant barracuda. You can admire an impressive variety of soft corals of all shapes, sizes and colours.

Marsa Mubarak is a well known dive site in the south and used to be a big national park. It consists of a bay with a reef to the north and south. With sandy bottom and enclosed big sea grass area in the middle the bay.

•  sea Conditions – It is protected from the open sea on its’ northern and southern flanks by reefs .
• Dive Plan – Outside the bay, you can explore a beautiful coral garden during a drift dive and admire the abundant underwater life.
• Marine Life – As you enter the water, swim calmly out towards the open sea, keeping your eyes open for any movement. The turtles can usually be found munching on the sea grass, or on the surface when they head up for air. The dugong is a bit more unpredictable, and there’s an element of luck to seeing him. Some people dive here repeatedly and see him every time; others aren’t quite so lucky. Local guides can advise you on your chances and the best time to go, but generally both turtles and dugong are best spotted on morning dives rather than afternoon ones. End the dive along the reef to the south before heading back to the beach. For the adventurous, there are a few pillars with coral growth a fair distance from the beach .
