Al Quseir and Marsa Alam Diving

Al Quseir
This area offers a wealth of interest for divers, including a variety of reefs featuring diverse underwater rock faces and an abundance of fauna, not to mention coral which is almost polychromic in appearance.
In addition to the famous Elphinstone reef, the Borbo reef, the coral gardens of Anee So Reef, the caves and canyons of Abu Dabab and the El Gotaab site, Erg Monica and Sok Bahar boast a fantastic array of reef fauna and are also well worth a visit.

The Great South
Whilst strong currents, choppy seas, and the fact that night diving is prohibited conspire to make diving sites in the south less popular, these sites do offer a host of new challenges for more adventurous divers. Located in southern territorial waters in the center of the Red Sea, the most desirable diving spots are clustered around Zabargad Island, Rocky Island, and Saint John’s Reef. However, when atmospheric conditions are favorable, you will be treated to the sight of spectacular coral reefs, some of them still a virgin, plus the most extraordinary marine fauna – though this rare experience is only for the most able divers.
• Diving ability
Experienced Divers – must have completed a minimum of 50 dives.
• Marine Life
Many species of shark: bigeye thresher sharks, whitetip sharks, hammerhead sharks, grey reef sharks and pelagic fish.
