MARSA ALAM The whole area south of Marsa Alam has achieved world class diving status. The names like Fury Shoal, Elphinstone, Zabargad, Rocky and Daedalus conjure up dreams of magical pristine diving… and you wont be disappointed.

 
Abu Dabab
A collection of 7 reefs. Offers sheltered diving in rough weather conditions. Popular overnight location due to close proximity to the famous Elphinestone reef with very good chance to see spanish dancers on the night dive. Many swim throughs and caves. Often sightings of reef sharks on the southern outer reefs.

Elphinstone Reef
The sheer walls of this great reef plunge steeply into the blue, richly decorated with soft corals, sponges, gorgonians and fans. Sharks often swim by the spot to feed on the abundant reef fish population. The northern plateau is home to schooling hammerheads with frequent sightings of oceanic white tip sharks.
Shab Marsa Alam
Large reef in front of the last southern civilian town on the Egyptian coastline. Coral gardens formed near huge coral blocks porites and shoals of banners, goat fish, snappers and jacks.


Shab Samadai (Dolphin House)
A horseshoe shaped reef creates a shallow turquoise water lagoon where a large herd of spinner dolphins live permanently. Several dives are found on its outer walls. The western tip provides a large group of pinnacles rising to the surface from a carpet of seagrass, populated by schools of reef fish.

Gota Sharm
Big reef with big walls, hammerhead and grey reef sharks in summer, malabar grouper, barracudas, and schooling reef fish the rest of the year. Currents, soft corals and giant sea fans.

Habili Gamal
A small collection of pinnacles lying just below the surface. Often large schools of jacks, oriental sweetlips, bannerfish, butterfly fish and goatfish. Only possible to dive in good weather conditions as it is very exposed.

Bluff Point
At the gate of the Straits of Gubal, ‘Bluff Point’ draws its name from the turbulence created by strong currents that beat the eastern most wall of the island. Huge fan corals cover an impressive drop off with caves and glass fish. Sightings of turtles and napoleon fish are not uncommon. An unknown wreck lies on the reef 300m north of the lighthouse, starting at 5m depth and sloping to 25m. Rumor has it that this is the wreck of an Egyptian patrol boat sunk in the 6 day war.
